You have whitespace or something like that _after_ the backslash. Don't.

Since quite a few versions back MailScanner should have a link from
/etc/mail/spamassassin/mailscanner.cf pointing at your
spam.assassin.prefs.conf, so you likely don't need specify it
separately. Change the script to
#! /bin/bash
# re-builds the Bayes database daily
/usr/bin/sa-learn --sync --force-expire
# End of script
