So, are you trying a write operation? Like an sa-learn --spam or something like that. A simple --dump will no longer create the database if it doesn't already exist. Similarly, if you run spamassassin -D --lint it won't attempt to create the database since the check for bayes in a readonly operation. Try learning a message, and if that doesn't work, try learning a msg with sa-learn -D and send the output to the list.
