The problem is, you cannot get into the "sendq" folder because you are not 
root.  Use the command
$ su
and type the root password.  The prompt will change to a comment mark and you 
will now have access to every folder.

The "sudo" command needs a command  (to be executed as root),  not a 
destination folder.  Use the online manual to find out more:
$ man sudo

Note that when sudo asks you for a password, it means your *own* password,  
not the root password.  You can use
$ sudo sh
to get a full root prompt.
