Here is more information regarding the error I am getting on bayes.

error is: Cannot open bayes_path /home/richard/.spamassassin/bayes R/O:
Inappropriate ioctl for device
I get this when running spamassassin -D --lint

/home/richard/
drwx------    8 richard  richard      4096 Jul  8 07:33 richard

/home/richard/.spamassassin
drwx------    2 richard  richard      4096 Jul  7 14:48 .spamassassin

/home/richard/.spamassassin/bayes_toks
-rw-rw-r--    1 richard  richard         0 Jul  7 14:48 bayes_toks

{snip}
Does /home/richard/.spamassassin/bayes exist? If yes, what are its
permissions?
{snip}

This directory does not exist. Does it need to be created manually, or
should bayes create it upon enabling?

/home/richard/
This is a local home directory, not an NFS mount.

No. More info could be useful:

Does /home/richard exist? If yes, what are its permissions?

Does /home/richard/.spamassassin exist? If yes, what are its
permissions?

Does /home/richard/.spamassassin/bayes exist? If yes, what are its
permissions?

What are the permissions on the two directories above, if they both
exist?

Is any part of /home/richard/.spamassassin/bayes an NFS mount to
another machine, or is it all on the machine where you are running
`spamassassin -D --lint`?
