The message 'Could not connect to database' does not come directly
neither from amavisd nor from SpamAssassin. It seems to occur during
loading ('require') or perl modules needed by SpamAssassin, so attention
should be directed there. I couldn't find the message in question
by searching through all .pm modules in the library, so it is either
spliced together from components, or more likely, coming from one
of the underlying libraries, perhaps your PAM login authentication.

Try: su vscan -c 'spamassassin -D -t <test.msg'
(run it under the same user as amavisd is runnning under)
