I don't think those directories exist. At least they don't in
/var/lib/spamassassin or /etc/mail/spamassassin. Do I need to manually
create those directories or am not looking in the right path? Where
should 'sa-update-keys' be?

Thats what I thought. I just placed it in the right folder to be safe.
I think the problem is sa-update is looking to write rules and updates
to folders that are not present. How do I fix this?
