The etc/ddclient.conf is owned by root and is 600644.

On line 884 this is the code:
883  	# Check for only owner has any access to config file
884    	my ($dev, $ino, $mode, @statrest) = stat(FD);
    	if ($mode & 077) {
		if (-f FD && (chmod 0600, $file)) {
	    		warning("file $file must be accessible only by its owner (fixed).");
		} else {
	   		 # fatal("file $file must be accessible only by its owner.");
	   		 warning("file $file must be accessible only by its owner.");
		}
     	}


Seems odd that their code is wrong. Did you have these problems?
