You can specify the location of your bayes files in the
spam.assassin.prefs.conf:

        bayes_path /etc/MailScanner/bayes/bayes

Where /etc/MailScanner/bayes is the directory where the files:

        bayes_journal
        bayes_toks
        bayes_seen

Reside.

Hint: Check the SpamAssassin configuration documentation at:

http://au.spamassassin.org/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html

A lot of very useful information can be found there.
