I just upgraded my clamav installation from 0.75 to 0.80 on my RHEL 3.0 server. After merging my configuration changes, clamd is running fine. However, I'm running into problems with freshclam:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# freshclam --datadir="/var/amavis/clamav" --log=/var/amavis/clamav/logs/freshclam.log --log-verbose --daemon-notify="/etc/clamd.conf"
ERROR: Please edit the example config file /etc/freshclam.conf.
ERROR: Can't open /var/amavis/clamav/logs/freshclam.log in append mode (check permissions!).
ERROR: Problem with internal logger.


I'm not sure why I'm getting this error, the logfile in question has been used since for 0.75, and the permissions look fine:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ls -l /var/amavis/clamav/logs/freshclam.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 mailscan mailscan 6680 Nov 13 23:57 /var/amavis/clamav/logs/freshclam.log


Here are the changed settings in my /etc/freshclam.conf file:

DatabaseDirectory /var/amavis/clamav
UpdateLogFile /var/amavis/clamav/logs/freshclam.log
DatabaseOwner mailscan
MaxAttempts 5
Checks 24
NotifyClamd

Does anyone have any ideas what I've overlooked?  Thanks in advance,
