Brian.. I see that your local.cf contains:
bayes_path /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes
Note the docs carefully, bayes path isn't just a path. That option specifies
the bayes DB is stored in /etc/mail/spamassassin, and stored in files beginning
with the name "bayes".
However, /etc/mail/spamassassin contains a sub-directory named bayes... did you
create that? Please remove it. I know in 2.6x versions this would screw up SA's
file locking.
In your bayes path there must be files starting with the word "bayes" other
than the ones SA creates.
I'd also really question using /etc/mail/spamassassin for your bayes database.
The bayes directory needs to be RWX to all the users who SA runs as. You
*really* don't want /etc/mail/spamassassin being world rwx as that's a gigantic
security hole that a smart user could likely abuse to gain root privilege
whenever root calls SA.
May I suggest creating a /var/spamassassin/bayes/ directory that's world RWX
and then setting
bayes_path /var/spamassassin/bayes/bayes
