Let's check a few things (and please check the upper/lower case of everything):

Your MailScanner is installed in "/usr/local/MailScanner",
Your McAfee is installed "/usr/local/uvscan",
You haven't edited "/usr/local/MailScanner/bin/check_mailscanner" at all,
You have put "Virus Scanner = mcafee" in your 
/usr/local/MailScanner/etc/mailscanner.conf,
You have put "Sweep = /usr/local/uvscan/mcafeewrapper" in your 
/usr/local/MailScanner/etc/mailscanner.conf.
You haven't edited "/etc/rc.d/init.d/mailscanner" at all.

The error you are getting implies that it can't read your 
/usr/local/MailScanner/etc/mailscanner.conf file, or else it can't read the 
definition of "Sweep" in it (or there is more than 1 definition of "Sweep").
