Were you using spamassassin or spamc/spamd greg?  I believe spamassassin allows 
you to have user rules, spamd does not.  At least, that's what the docs say in 
perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf -- I agree that changing it from what's 
documented to having a allow_user_rules local-conf parameter would be nifty.  Go 
ahead and file a bugzilla enhancement request :)
