Well, your spamd startup was forcing everything to '-u nobody'. Unless
you're using SQL, that's going to break bayes.

The "nobody" user does not, and SHOULD NOT, have a writable home
directory, so any ordinary db_file-based database stored in the home
directory (which is SA's default) is going to fail to be written.

Define "config file". That should be loaded in yourv310.pre file by
default. If your *.pre files are missing from /etc/mail/spamassassin,
you've got larger problems to look into.
