^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That is NOT the place for the SA stock rule-set, but your local site
config only.
Seems, you did not mess up your Bayes DB, but the installation of the
new SA version 3.3.1. The next line clearly shows the 'sa-learn' you are
running is an older version, 3.2.5.

Similar picture. Your "rolling back" to SA 3.2.5 severely borked your
installation somehow, again, putting the stock rule-set in your site
config.
Strangely enough, your 'sa-learn' this time is 3.2.4 (!) though.

Or whatever. ;)
(a) Your installation is severely broken, with stock rule-set ending up
in your site-config.
(b) For some strange reason, you manage to always run an older sa-learn
executable, than would have been expected.
How exactly did you install 3.3.1? How exactly did you revert?
