I had the same problem for a while.

Try these couple of things.
a) run it with the debug flag -d
sa-learn -D --spam --mbox spam
b) try fully qualifying the paths in case you aren't in the right place
sa-learn -D --spam --mbox /home/user/spam
c) when you've run it in debug make sure that you don't see errors about the
ability to right the files. There could be two problems here.
- you might need to install perl-DB_file module so it knows how to write
the files. Make sure you have that module installed.
- permissions! check your permissions under the user directory, i.e.
/home/user/.spamassassin and make sure the ownership of the directory and
all files within it are to the user in question and are writable to that
user.
d) as Brian said, it won't relearn messages you've learnt already.
Try those things.. but above all, remember the -D option is your friend!
