I can't reproduce this on FreeBSD. The OP could run on any Linux (don't
know if the problem is on Linux):

strace -o evince.tr -f  evince ~/.mutt/fred.pdf

and look into the file evince.tr which open(2) or stat(2) gives a
Permission Denied and why. If the OP can't see this, he/she should 
post this file somewhere.
