Let me stop you right there. You cannot run spamd as root. It drops
privs, and runs as user "nobody".

It would be best to create a spamd user, and start with this:

/usr/sbin/spamd --create-prefs --username=spamd --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir -d
--pidfile=/var/run/spamd.pid

You can specify a bayes_path in your config, and run sa-learn as root if you'd like.
