Thats part of the problem, your MailScanner doesn't run as root under
postfix (runs as postfix user).  So trying to use it as root is liable
to screw up permissions on the bayes files.

And theres another part of the problem, none of these files are owned or
even writable by the postfix user.
Suggest you remove all these files (maybe move elsewhere) and make sure
that the directory is readable/writable/searchable by the postfix user
