These bayes_toks.expire... files should not be there. It looks like
spamassassin is trying to expire old tokens but failing part way through
and leaving a file behind.

Have you followed the mailscanner recomendation and setting spamassassin
never to expire and letting mailscanner handle it. Maybe spamassassin is
taking too long to expire and mailscanner is giving up waiting.
