line 94 is the line which displays the error, not the line which caused
it.  The text pretty much says all there is to say.  Its actually
looking for a particular file in the Sophos lib directory.

Log in as root or su -   (NB su - not su)  sudo can do nasty things to
your enviironment.

Make sure you have the correct package directory for Sophos in
/etc/MailScanner/virus.scanners.conf.

Make sure you installed Sophos using Julians Sophos.Install script.

Don't run sophos-autoupdate directly, run update_virus_scanners
