If you are using the default mailscanner behavior of forcing the bayes db
to a non-standard location you'll also need to pass sa-learn the --dbpath
option.

Otherwise it's going to look in the current user's (root) home directory
for your bayes db.

Depending on how your bayes_path is set you'll want something like this:

sa-learn --dump magic -D --dbpath /var/spool/spamassassin/

However, from your previous posts it sounds like your bayes_path is
/etc/MailScanner/bayes/bayes so you'd want:

sa-learn --dump magic -D --dbpath /etc/MailScanner/bayes/
