I have fallen for that one too. The --lint is being run as root and so
will pick up the root bayes file. You need to run --lint as the same as
the Postfix user (Usually postfix) to make sure you use the right
database. You will also need to specify where the bayes files are (This is
set in MailScanner.conf, towards the bottom, usually
/var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin/)

But don't forget to drop it in the directory as described above so MS can
find it and ensure it is at least owned by postfix.
