| Maybe your default and/or user rules dir is set diffrently, if you do
| spamassassin --prefs-file=<path>/spam.assassin.prefs.conf --lint -D and

| P.S. Just a wild guess...
Try this;
post results of
grep "SpamAssassin Prefs File" /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
and maybe that will give a clue.
Maybe also a MailScanner -v
