using sa-learn as a different user problem.

[Bookworm]

Most of the email I'm trying to run sa-learn on is owned by vpopmail, 
and my spamassassin runs as the user 'spamd'.

Even when I try sa-learn -u spamd, it continually learns as 'root' - 
filling a bayes database in the root directory. 

Is there anyway to stop this?  I REALLY don't want to have to keep 
either 1) moving databases around, or 2) chmod and chowning directories 
and files so that the spamd user can learn from 'unlearned' spam.
