user_prefs is a config file, it's not a config statement.

You'd use /root/.spamassassin/user_prefs to create a config file so that
root's bayes settings match the ones MailScanner uses. The file serves the
same purpose as spam.assassin.prefs.conf, but is for when you use
spamassassin outside of MailScanner.

Hmm, that sounds like you bayes database in root's home directory is empty,
or at least all the tokens that were in it at one point have now expired.
since the bayes_toks file was only about 12k this seems logical.

try setting root's bayes_path to the same thing as your MailScanner uses.
You'll then be able to sa-learn --dump magic and see the bayes database
stats that MailScanner is using.
