No, I goofed up and forgot to remove freshclam from cron. Normally I let
MailScanner do the updating. But I guess that freshclam being still in
cron is not the reason why scanning will work from MS but updating fails?

My guess is that with the clamav rpm the clam binaries are found by
mailscanner but the update script is in a different place than the
tarball?
