Um, why's it trying to create a bayes database in 
/usr/local/share/spamassassin/ ??

That's *DANGEROUS*.

DO NOT point bayes_path there.. DO NOT set any user's home directory to 
/usr/share/spamassassin.

This *WHOLE* directory gets obliterated without prompts or warning when 
you upgrade. It should contain nothing but the distribution provided 
rulesets. Nothing else.
