How did you build your .cf file, using m4 with a .mc file, or the hard way? OperatorChars are things like @%! etc. used by sendmail to do specific things. If you are adding address rewriting rules, you may have used one of these incorrectly, causing sendmail to think you are redefining it. The other errors seems to be coming from mail.local being unable to lock the file in /var/mail. Not sure why that would happen, maybe permissions to that directory or file. Hope this helps.
