yup. it fails.

hmm ... there's the problem. it *is* picking up "my" dirs:
[3545] dbg: config: using "/var/MailServer/Conf/SA/Local" for site
rules pre files
[3545] dbg: config: read file /var/MailServer/Conf/SA/Local/init.pre
but also:
[3545] dbg: config: using
"/usr/local/spamassassin/var/spamassassin/3.002000" for sys rules pre
files
[3545] dbg: config: using
"/usr/local/spamassassin/var/spamassassin/3.002000" for default rules dir
[3545] dbg: config: using "/var/MailServer/Conf/SA/Local" for site
rules dir
...
[3545] dbg: config: using "/var/root/.spamassassin" for user state dir
[3545] dbg: config: using "/var/root/.spamassassin/user_prefs" for user
prefs file
[3545] dbg: config: read file /var/root/.spamassassin/user_prefs
which are, i think, in the auto-detect path, but NOT where i've told stuff to
be (like my
systemwide .spamassassin/bayes* etc etc)

looks to be the case.

that's what i'd presumed, if not legitimately understood.
i'm not yet certain, but i that
"/usr/local/spamassassin/var/spamassassin/3.002000" has me
suspicious ... why's it there? is that a sa-update creation?
if so, why's sa-update NOT picking up the build-time-spec'd dirs as well?
