Just a guess, but try
   # mkdir -p /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/startup-hooks.d
   # chmod o+rx /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird
   # chmod o+rx /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/startup-hooks.d
-D

(I haven't looked at thunderbird myself yet, however next time I need
to test something in particular I'll install it)
 

The directory, or actually a symlink, already exists.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/westk:> ls -ld 
/usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/startup-hooks.dlrwxrwxrwx    1 root     
root           44 Oct 21 09:07 
/usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/startup-hooks.d -> 
/var/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/startup-hooks.d

And the referenced directory exists:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/westk:> ls -ld 
/var/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/startup-hooks.ddrwxr-xr-x    2 root     
root         1024 Oct 18 06:22 /var/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/startup-hooks.d

But, it's an empty directory:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/westk:> ls -la 
/var/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/startup-hooks.d
total 2
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         1024 Oct 18 06:22 .
drwxr-xr-x    6 root     root         1024 Oct 21 09:07 ..

But interestingly, you gave me the idea to run it as super-user, so I 
ran "sudo mozilla-thunderbird". I still got the error, but this time 
thunderbird started. So I exited out, and then ran it as my normal user, 
and now it works, and I no longer even get the error message, even 
though the directory is still empty.

Huh. Go figure.
