I've been running Amavis for years, including re installing it several
times.
I have seen similar errors. They result ultimately from the file not
being there.
Fixes can include just touching the file (touch
/path/to/file/filename.db)

its what a few people have been CALLING FOR, for a few years, rather
than suicide, fill up our logs constantly at high speed rate to point of
100's megs and saying oh we cant find it, it could just as well bloody
re-create it - again, what we've been calling for, for years! I get
better responses talking to my rottweiler than seem to do around here
(and Cc'd to Mark directly incase he as previously admits doesn't read
the list all the time), as do a lot of people.
amavisd is great code - WHEN it works. Not good to find one of the mail
boxes quiet in peak times, load balancers dont block or alarms dont go
off because postfix responds (even to auth, as does pop3/imap) and a
look on that server finds a queue of 40K+ messages in just a few hours
sitting there doing S.F.A. so betya you too would be pissed off.
anyway, late last night I installed mailscanner on one of the servers,
gunna run that for a while before deciding if we move all of the mail
servers over to it. It used to run very well, we used it when we ran
senmdmail/qmail vpopmail many many moons ago, just found when we
upgraded to more modern postfix/dovecot/mysql back in hrmm, '08 I think
it was, it was simpler to use amavisd given its pretty much designed to
work with postfix.
