[Gllug] spamassassin help!

[Adrian McMenamin]

Everytime I upgrade my Ubuntu server I have spamassassin problems
because a long time ago (about three years ago) I put some subtle kink
in the setup and the maintainers keep changing the way the thing works
in subtle ways also.

I've been wrestling with the latest now for a couple of days and I have
got to the point where everything except it appears to have lost track
of the existing Baysian data - which is stored under the user account
adrmail

Nov  1 13:44:55 dragoneye spamd[26243]: spamd: connection from
newgolddream.info [127.0.0.1] at port 37696

Nov  1 13:45:10 dragoneye spamd[26243]: auto-whitelist: open of
auto-whitelist file failed: locker: safe_lock: cannot create tmp
lockfile /nonexistent/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock.dragoneye.26243
for /nonexistent/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock: No such file or
directory 

etc

Outgoing mails are tun through Bayesian filters though. Hmmm.

I know I can plug away at this for a day or two and I can fix it, but
any clues as to what I should be looking for?

This is what I have OPTIONS in /etc/default/spamassassin set to:

OPTIONS="--create-prefs --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir"

and this is from /etc/default/spamass-milter

OPTIONS="-u nobody"
