Does clamdscan work from the command line? qmail-scanner calls
clamd/clamdscan clamuko.

I thought you could turn on debugging to get a more helpful message in
qmail-scanner. If you set in /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner.pl or wherever
it's installed:

#Name of file in $scandir where debugging output goes
my $debuglog="qmail-queue.log";

#Want debugging? Enable this and read $scandir/qmail-queue.log
my $DEBUG='1';

Then you can look in <qmail-scanner spool dir>/qmail-queue.log and you
should have more info on whats going on, or at least can send to us the
output of a failed run and someone might point you in the right direction.
