Well I figured it out, apparmor is on the box, and I'd really rather not disable it. I've currently got CLAMAV 0.95.1 installed (its the most recent backport) but I think it 0.95.2 that fixes this problem, but I can't find a repository for it anywhere. Is there a repository (or .deb files) that I could download and install?
