Sorry for taking a while to respond. I have just built a new system to 
test this out properly, and it appears to be working just fine.

One point to note: make sure that "Monitors For Sophos Updates" is set 
correctly, as it needs to point to some wildcarded list of files in 
/opt/sophos-av/lib/sav. I have used "/opt/sophos-av/lib/sav/*.vdb" but 
I'm not 100% sure that is correct, I will have to test it some more, 
over a few days, to see exactly what files are being updated by the 
sophos-autoupdate (which is compatible with Sophos 6 already).
