this is wrong again. Default Rules Dir should point to the SA default
rules dir which is /usr/share/spamassassin on most platforms. I don't know
what Local Rules Dir should be, maybe the dir (not the path) within each
users homedir. Compare that:

SpamAssassin Site Rules Dir = /etc/mail/spamassassin

debug: using "/opt/perl5/etc/mail/spamassassin" for site rules dir

see the difference?
Either there is a small bug in MS which adds instead of replaces the Site
Rules Dir or there is another problem.

If you have a correctly installed SA this line should do it alone:
SpamAssassin Prefs File = /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
(note: no Rules Dir whatsoever stuff!)
if /etc/mail/spamassassin/ is the Sites Rules Dir (can be found out by
running spamassassin --lint).
