Probably pskmail writes to the wrong directory. What version are you using?
On version 0.4.beta1 or 2 start the config dialogue and make sure the
'Inputfile'
and 'Outputfile' are pointing to the right spot. So if in the above example
could get fldigi to TX by writing to ~/gmfsk_autofile, you put 'gmfsk_autofile'
into the Outputfile dialog box. Same with gMFSK.log and the Inputfile box.
The path in config is relative to your home directory. Dont put '~/' in front
of the file names.

This error does not come from pskmail, it is an error in Kubuntu which tries to
open a
waco tablet device. You can ignore this error message.
The other error messages are also ok, they are related to starting/stopping
certain threads
which open/close pipes in pskmail.
By the way, once you get everything running you can switch off these error
messages
by uncommenting the 'open' statements in lines 89 and 90 of psk_arq.pl.
Hope this helps,
