If it helps i also added an init.pre file from SA source as debian did not 
have it in /etc/spamassassin the contents of the file are below....

# RelayCountry - add metadata for Bayes learning, marking the countries
# a message was relayed through
#
# loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::RelayCountry

# URIDNSBL - look up URLs found in the message against several DNS
# blocklists.
#
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::URIDNSBL

# Hashcash - perform hashcash verification.
#
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Hashcash

# SPF - perform SPF verification.
#
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::SPF

Could this be causing anything?
