Ok. Thanks. I've gone back to running sa-learn --force-expire from
crontab.

Note for anyone who hasn't been bitten by this yet:
the force-expire rewrites your bayes_toks file with the permissions of
the user it runs as, so I've placed it in /etc/crontab so I can specify
postfix as the user like this:

[when stuff] postfix  sa-learn --force-expire -p /opt/MailScanner/etc/spam.assassin.prefs.conf

At one point I had tried it in root's crontab (i.e. crontab -e) and
found the next morning that MS/SA weren't using bayes because MS runs as
the postfix user here and the bayes_toks file had been rewritten with
root.root as owner.group.
