Email Piping | Postfix-Maildrop | ISPConfig | OSTicket - Not working

Hey all,

I have an Ubuntu Server running ISPConfig on it. I just installed OSTicket on it and am trying to get email piping working so it automatically creates a ticket in the system. Here is the error I get when I send an email to the support email address.

Also attached is the command I have in ISPConfig for the pipe and the pipe.php script, and permissions I have set right now.
