The problem is, Fred, that if the journal file is visible at all, then I
sus[pect the filesystem is not truly mounted as EXT3.  When properly mounted
as EXT3, the journal is NOT visible to to an "ls" command (or to any other
command that operates on "files").

You might try confirming that your filesystem is actually mounted as EXT3 by
typing "df --type=ext3" and looking to see if each of your EXT3 filesystems
is listed.  This command tells "df" to display only those filesystems that
are actually mounted as EXT3.

If you DO see your journaled filesystems listed in that output, and you
still can "see" the journal, you then get into kernel/driver version
questions, module info, and other stuff that goes well beyond the scope of
the CLAMAV lists.  Time to find some answers from a Redhat support list.
