I finally figured this one out.  Turns out I had some strange
permissions thing going on.  :-/

I had set in local.cf to put the bayes db in one directory for all
users and set bayes_file_mode to 666 so that anyone could read/write
to it.  I could get the bayes triggers to show up if I ran the
spamassassin tests as root, but when spamc ran as "postfixfilter" (the
user I set up for postfix filtering), I would not get them.  After
checking the debug output of spamd was when I noticed that it couldn't
scan the bayes_tokes file.  I then tried moving things around and
moved the bayes db files to /spamassassin instead of in
/usr/local/share/spamassassin, which didn't change a thing.  So then I
though I'd just open up ALL access to the file for everyone and
changed the mode to 777 after adjusting the ACLs on each file
manually.  That let it work and I'm now seeing the bayes triggers in
emails passing through spamc/spamd.

So can anyone explain to me why the bayes db files need to have
execute rights in order for it to work for users other than root?  :-/
