Revisiting your message, you say: "I run sa-learn as root"
So you may be doing it to yourself.
When you run sa-learn it rebuilds the database as part of its operation
unless you add the option "--no-rebuild". Sometimes when rebuilding
the database it creates a new bayes_toks file rather than just updating
the existing one. If that happens when you (root) are running it, the
new file is owned by root.
So I see a few possible workarounds:
1) always run sa-learn as "spamd" not root
2) always give sa-learn the --no-rebuild option and let spamd do the
rebuild
3) always check the bayes file ownership after a sa-learn run.
