What about the directories leading up to it?

/
/usr
/usr/local
/usr/local/etc
/usr/local/etc/dkim
/usr/local/etc/dkim/i-systems.co.uk

My guess is one or more of those is restricted from access by the user
that's running the opendkim filter.

(I wonder if we should refuse to use private keys that are writable other
than by the owner, at least as a default...)
