I had the exact same problem. I ran the sa-learn --sync as root instead of the user I have in the spamd startup script. In my case I have spamd -u spamduser So I just simply went to the bayes folder as root and did a chown to make spamduser the owner of all the bayes files again, and restarted spamd.
