Ah, ok.
I have now installed Ubuntu-12.04 on a virtual machine
and tried amavisd 2.8.0 on it.

Apparently you did not apply the Debian/Ubuntu patch, which lets amavisd
read config files from directories /usr/share/amavis/conf.d and
/etc/amavis/conf.d, so the assignment $pid_file in 10-debian_scripts
was not visited.
Just so that we remain on the same track, I wrapped my current code as:
http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/amavisd-new-2.8.0-pre7.tar.gz
Please apply the attached patch to it, which brings it in line with
the Debian/Ubuntu modification to 2.6.5, and copy the resulting code
to /usr/sbin/amavisd-new, replacing the installed 2.6.5.
That should get you going.
