moving the bayes files?

[Furnish, Trever G]

I suppose I'm taking a rather haphazard approach to learning mailscanner,
but I've recently realized spamassassin *may* be storing bayesian
filtering-related files under /root/.spamassassin on my system, which isn't
a good long-term situation for me, so I stopped mailscanner, uncommented the
following lines in /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf, and restarted
MailScanner:

auto_whitelist_path        /var/spool/spamassassin/auto-whitelist
auto_whitelist_file_mode   0600
bayes_path                 /var/spool/spamassassin/bayes
bayes_file_mode            0600

That didn't seem to work (for moving the files) -- The
/var/spool/spamassassin directory did not get created and MailScanner died
quietly.

So...I ran the mailscanner init script with 'stop' as an arg, then did a
mkdir /var/spool/spamassassin, then restarted mailscanner.  Now it doesn't
die, but it also doesn't create files under /var/spool/spamassassin.  What
else do I need to do in order to get that working?  I'm not even sure the
bayesian stuff was working to begin with.

In case it helps, here's the output of spamassassin -D --lint 2>&1 - any
suggestions would be appreciated.
