moving the bayes files?

[Furnish, Trever G]

Replying to my own question, it looks like these files are only created
periodically, so once I made the config change and restarted MailScanner,
the files didn't immediately appear.  Instead they appeared quite a few
hours later, after 30 or so messages had been run through the system.

My thanks to "Matt", who shall remain otherwise nameless because he's
list-"shy". :-)
