The reason I'm asking about how you call SA is that it appears the wrong user_prefs is being used. SpamAssassin itself does NOT try to figure out what user_prefs to use. What user to act on behalf of is either implied based on the user-id that executed the spamassassin process, or explicitly specified by passing it after the -u parameter to spamc. So, how you call SA is actually quite key to this problem, as that's what decides what user_prefs will be used, not anything internal to SA.
