Glenn,

You are exactly right. It was set to "/etc/MailScanner/bayes/" instead 
of "/etc/MailScanner/bayes/bayes". I've changed it now, and followed 
Kai's instructions also.

Now when I try to get the system to learn spam, I get the following 
error message:

The dir looks like so:

# ls -la

Not sure what to do next.
