I assume you are using sendmail, afaik mailscanner uses hardlinks to 
perform this. Hardlinks can only be made on one filesystem. This could 
be part of your problem. I'm uncertain whether hardlinks work on NFS, 
but they will not work when the 2 directories are mounted seperatly.

Next to this i'm wondering if it's save to use nfs for you're inbound 
queues. But depending on equipment and other parameters that's something 
for you to decided.

See above.

P.S. Next time please include some more detail suchs as:
Operating system, version and distro
Mailer and Version

SpamAssassin version
Virusscanners used
And maybe mailscanner -v

Without the first 2 it's almost impossible to answer any questions, the 
last 3 differ depending on the question
