Well, that's a problem.
looking at output of 'sa-update --debug',

I notice the dns query FAIL.
checking the man page,
"The default channel is
updates.spamassassin.org <http://updates.spamassassin.org>,
which has updated rules since the previous
release."
Net::DNS, which I think is responsble for those queries, /is/ working,
as updates of other channels are working.
Ideas?
Your problem isn't anything to do with the datadir. It has to do with
the fact sa-update isn't running. Furthermore, sa-update thinks your
running version 3.3.0. The newest stable release is 3.2.1, so it looks
to me that you're running a dev version.
