Gnus is trying to run a command to view the attachments in a temporary
file.  After the command exits, the file is cleaned.  In your case the
command fails immediately, so the "open" command is not working.

You can save an attachment explicitly by moving to it with `TAB' and
then `o' to "output" it.
