From another message:
>/etc/mail/spamassassin exists and is chown root.root and chmod 755
>bayes dir is chown root.root and chmod 770

Yes.  The documentation states:

bayes_path /path/filename     (default: ~/.spamassassin/bayes)
This is the directory and filename for Bayes databases.  Several
databases will be created, with this as the base directory and
filename [...]

So if /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes is a directory, as you indicate,
and you set that path for bayes_path, SA throws an error so you can fix
the path to include the filename portion.  You may want something like
"bayes_path /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes/bayes".

(fwiw: this was from http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=4119)
