I do this once in a blue moon, so troubleshooting problems requires me to
dive back into man pages and try to understand what's going on. The error
that I think is telling me what the problem is is: Aug 19 18:31:43 mail
postfix/qmgr[41135]: warning: connect to transport private/filter:
Connection refused
After that I see tons of these:
status=deferred (mail transport unavailable)
So I think filter is what the problem is. Here is what I have NOW in
master.cf: (I tried changing from the filter.sh script to running mail
directory through the spamassassin daemon.)

There's obviously something wrong in here, but what is is escapes me. I
need help.
