Luiz,
Which bayes database did you tell "check_bayes_db"to check?
By default, it checks your personal bayes database, not the system-wide
one.
On the mail server (or the system running spamd) look in the
"local.cf" config file for the value of the 'bayes_path' variable.
Feed that to check_bayes_db and see what you get.

EG: My bayes_path == /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes/bayes

Running check_bayes_db with the argument:

  check_bayes_db -dbpath=/etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes/bayes

produces a -LOT- of output. ;)
