But you don't have a directory /var/dspam/data? I got that one by just
installing dspam (on -current, admittedly). After install, I have
$ ls -laR /var/dspam/
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 _dspam _dspam 512 Dec 16 16:29 .
drwxr-xr-x 26 root wheel 512 Dec 16 16:29 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 _dspam _dspam 512 Dec 16 16:29 data
/var/dspam/data:
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 _dspam _dspam 512 Dec 16 16:29 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 _dspam _dspam 512 Dec 16 16:29 ..

Create /var/dspam/data and set the permissions as above. Do _NOT_, under
any circumstance, try to solve this by running dspam as root. Yes, I
mean you.
Also, check mount options and such. If you still can't get it to work,
please post the results of 'ls -laR /var/dspam'.
