I'd suspect the settings in MailScanner for things like "SpamAssassin
Local State Dir" to be wrong. Since Jays SpamAssassin seems to get
along famously without any particular setting, I think he should try
setting that to a blank value (so that the "built-into-SA-defaults"
kick in, wrt finding the sa-updated stuff), and if that fails set it
to something like /var/lib/spamassassin (but only if it still fails).

... Or am I reading this backwards? Could it be some type of bum
sa-update not copying everything as it should to the new location...
Jay, if you "find /var -name \*bayes.cf -print" what do you get? Did
you run/do you run periodically sa-update?
