Hi...

It's perfect now.
It's really a permission problem. I run clamd alone and the error back
again. So I edit the clamav.conf and add a line
'User root'. It's force a clamav run as root, and only them can write on
/root/tmp. I don't know if this is the best way to fix the problem. But...
it's working now.

Thank you
very much

Luciano
