Eh...clamd is not running now, because of the permissions error, so I can't tell :(

Duh! Of course it's not or we wouldn't even be talking about this.

Nothing in /var/run...can I change clamd to log to syslog temporarily to see what user it's running under?

I assume so.

But, another way to tell (I hope). In my clamd.conf (which I have in /usr/local/etc/ but yours could be elsewhere is:

# Run as another user (clamd must be started by root for this option to work)
# Default: don't drop privileges
User _amavisd

See if you have a User directive in your clamd.conf.
