If one can create a  %quarantine-dir%/<<date>>/<<msgid>> directory with 
contect I fail to see what permission is able to prevent one from creating 
a %quarantine-dir%/spam/<<date>>/<<msgid>> directory.

My suggestion is to find the exact lines in the log describing all steps 
taken to handle a message and see if anything is in fact classified as 
spam and put in quarantine.
