Postfix filters mail via amavisd-new (which calls SA). Everything runs smoothly except the "Report as Spam" link for users viewing messages via webmail. When clicked, it successfully sends a message to postmaster, and unsuccessfully calls sa-learn. This is what I see in my logs (sorry for line wraps):
lock: 94539 cannot create tmp lockfile /root/.spamassassin/bayes.lock.sphinx.hamla.org.94539 for /root/.spamassassin/bayes.lock: Permission denied
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:

lock: 95562 cannot create tmp lockfile /root/.spamassassin/bayes.lock.sphinx.hamla.org.95562 for /root/.spamassassin/bayes.lock: Permission denied
The relevant line in my IMP conf.php:
$conf['spam']['program'] = '/usr/local/bin/sa-learn --spam';
I googled for the error but cannot find a proper solution. Right now, /root/.spamassassin is a symlink to /var/amavis/.spamassassin; the files therein (i.e. the bayes_* files) are chown'd vscan:vscan. They are updated when SA *itself* notices spam above a certain threshold, rejects those messages, and auto-learns their spammy existence.
How to get 'sa-learn --spam' from webmail to co-exist peacefully with my current setup?
