That would be --prefspath. Only used for per-user preferences, usually
does *not* contain any rules. The --configpath points to the stock rules
dir by default, and should *not* be changed.
Begs the question, why you want to change the default ~/.spamassassin
anyway?

Well, since installing SA 3.3.1, did you actually run sa-update?
You do realize that this is now mandatory since 3.3 to grab the latest
stock rule-set, do you? (Alternatively, a separate rules tarball is
available.) SA doesn't ship with all rules bundled any longer.

spamc / spamd rather than the plain and costly 'spamassassin' script, I
hope. Any chance the spamd daemon is started with the -c create user
prefs option?
