SpamAssassin not being Called

I have installed 
MailScanner 4.72.2 and SpamAssassin 3.2.5 on a Fedora Core 2 box and I am having problems 
with SpamAssassin.  MailScanner seems to work just fine but it never seems to 
call SpamAssassin.
 
I have the following 
set in MailScanner.conf:
Spam Checks = 
yes
Spam List =
Spam 
Domain List =
Use SpamAssassin = yes
Log Spam = 
yes
Debug SpamAssassin = yes
 
Here's what maillog 
shows:

I get no errors on lint either.  
spamassassin -C spam.assassin.prefs.conf --lint


It's been a few years since I've used MailScanner but I don't remember 
having to do anything special to get it work.  Anyone have any ideas why SpamAssassin is not being called or how i can debug it?
