Run the following:

service MailScanner stop
service MailScanner startin
MailScanner --debug

When the above command exits it should say 'Stopping now as you are 
debugging me....', if it doesn't then the last line will usually tell 
you the problem.

Remembered to disable SELinux?  Set the permissions correctly on your 
quarantine directory and sub-directories etc.  It's all in the INSTALL docs.
