Exim, FreeBSD and Mailscanner

I have been trying to install Mailscanner, and I have reached a strange
problem with the expansion of directory variables like %etc-dir%. When they
are expanded they get expanded as exponents, so my directory paths are all
incorrect. Here is the entry from the maillog:

Sep  9 17:30:01 mail MailScanner[56695]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner
version 4.21-9 starting...
Sep  9 17:30:01 mail MailScanner[56695]: Could not read file %etc-
dir%/spam.assassin.prefs.conf
Sep  9 17:30:01 mail MailScanner[56695]: Error in line 783,
file "0.000000e+00tc-dir%/spam.assassin.prefs.conf" for
spamassassinprefsfile does not exist (or can not be read)

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Thanks,

Ron.
