Update:

If I run

# su courier -c "/usr/perl5/bin/sa-learn --showdots --rebuild"

to rebuild the SA database, the "bayes_journal" file gets rotated/removed(?)
and I stop getting the "Failed to run BAYES_NN ... " error messages ...

... for awhile.

I thought that had fixed it, and that I had a corrupted database.  But
shortly thereafter (after a rash of errant TCP Wrappers error messages),
the "bayes_journal" file was back, and at some point, once again, the
"Failed to run BAYES_NN SpamAssassin test, skipping" error messages
started to recur.

Currently my directory has:

[/] # ls -lt /.spamassassin
total 6574
-rw-------    1 courier  courier    882688 Oct 30 09:53 auto-whitelist.pag
-rw-------    1 courier  courier      4096 Oct 30 09:53 auto-whitelist.dir
-rw-------    1 courier  courier     64951 Oct 30 09:53 bayes_journal
-rw-------    1 courier  courier   2086912 Oct 30 09:53 bayes_seen.pag
-rw-------    1 courier  courier   8316928 Oct 30 09:53 bayes_toks.pag
-rw-------    1 courier  courier      4096 Oct 30 09:52 bayes_seen.dir
-rw-------    1 courier  courier      4096 Oct 30 09:32 bayes_toks.dir
-rw-r--r--    1 courier  courier      1218 Jul  2 17:46 user_prefs

The "bayes_journal" file is there again, and so far, the errors have not yet
recurred, after Yet Another "sa-learn --rebuild" run.  But I'm sure
it's just a matter of time.

I'm really at a loss to understand what makes this error creep in at
some random point - and surely the error message is bogus?  The database(s)
is/are obviously writable - so why would it complain "No write permission
to ndbm file at /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Mail/SpamAssassin/BayesStore.pm
line 933"?

Thanks for any help.

        - Greg
