You do reaklize that you have quoted two different "Spam Actions", and
that the secon one is faulty? It should read something like:
Spam Actions = store deliver header "X-Spam-Status: Yes"

... If you do a "MailScanner --lint", that should point you in the
right direction.

The above permissions look OK, provided that the corresponding
settings in MailScanner.conf are OK... For me (my web server user is
apache, not www-data) it looks like:
Quarantine User = postfix
Quarantine Group = apache
Quarantine Permissions = 0660

Start by running as the postfix user, and try access the quarantine
directory. Do something like:
su - postfix -s /bin/bash
cd /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine
....
If that works, fine... But my money is on there being a "permission
problem higher up the filesystem hierarchy", or a misconfig in
MailScanner.conf.
