(Sorry for the top post... couldn't be helped:-)

Right... Could you try the following:
edit mailScanner.conf and set:
Incoming Work User = postfix
Incoming Work Group = clamav
Incoming Work Permissions = 0660
and of course set virus scanner to clamd... Then do
chown -R postfix.clamav /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming
chmod o+rx /var/spool/MailScanner
then restart MailScanner and see what happens... If you want to check
things manually, you need check that both postfix _and_ clamav
users/groups can access the created directories fully.

Cheers!
