Hmm....I thing Bayes IS working.  I just ran MailScanner --debug --debug-sa
after the restore and did see:

11:52:13 [5879] dbg: bayes: tie-ing to DB file R/W
/root/.spamassassin/bayes_toks
11:52:13 [5879] dbg: bayes: tie-ing to DB file R/W
/root/.spamassassin/bayes_seen
11:52:13 [5879] dbg: bayes: found bayes db version 3
11:52:13 [5879] dbg: bayes: learned
'88a47a16459989c19d47893de31fec608aa8f41e at sa_generated', atime: 1213631520
11:52:13 [5879] dbg: bayes: untie-ing
11:52:13 [5879] dbg: bayes: files locked, now unlocking lock

It seems that MailWatch is the one thats not working right.  Any way to
relink this?
