sa-update-keys should default to the same location as your local.cf file. On my system, that is /etc/mail/spamassassin. Create the directory and try the import again. The import operation is not writing rules and updates, it is writing key information. When you run the normal 'sa-update' command, it will write the rules under the /var/lib/spamassassin/3.00X.00X directory. -- Bowie
