Is the clam user in the mtagroup on all hosts?

To wit, on a couple of my hosts clamd is working as advertised.  On a couple others, it's only partially working.  I ran MailScanner --lint on a fully working box, mxt, and a partially working box, mx1 and compared the /var/log/clamav/clamav.log files.

So it appears that for whatever reason "neicar.com<http://neicar.com>" isn't found on mx1, the partially working box.  The directory is available, as evidenced by the fist log entry.

I did a "locate neicar.com<http://neicar.com>" on both hosts and neither returned a location for that filename, but perhaps it's created on the fly by the lint process?

Permissions match on both hosts.

It's a puzzler...
