SA believes another process is currently writing to the bayes database. This would be quite normal if a bayes expiry run was going on at the time. Wait a while and see if it still happens. If it still fails, shutdown ALL spamassassin operations, and try again. If it *still* fails, manually delete the bayes lock file. (it will be in your bayes directory. I think it's called bayes.mutex)
