Hi,
These are *NOT* Sanesecurity distributed scripts, so please do not add them

Okay, got it. It wasn't clear to me that it was an "MBL" db, and the
reference in the sanesecurity database section also includes info on
the other databases.
Only the databases that the Sanesecurity site says are "distributed by
Sanesecurity" can be configured to be downloaded in the Sanesecurity
section of the config file and then downloaded from the Sanesecurity
rsync servers. The others signature databases are hosted and downloaded
from other sites, thus the separate sections defined in the script's
config file.
Why are some of the databases duplicated in the clamav root dir and
also in the unofficial-dbs/ss-dbs directory, such as
winnow_malware.hdb?
The rsync protocol only downloads the changes between the local and
remote files, so the local file much be available comparison. The
unofficial/ss-dbs is also the working directory where the database's GPG
signature and integrity testing is done before rsyncing the files into
the ClamAV production directory.
