The comment at the top of virus.scanners.conf is wrong. The last parameter
on the line is not the command line or the name of the command to run, it
is the installation directory of the virus scanner. So yours should say
sophos /usr/local/libexec/MailScanner/sophos-wrapper /usr/local

By default it will be in /usr/sbin or /opt/MailScanner/bin. /usr/sbin
should always be on root's $PATH.
