I have no experience using SA this way. I'd start with trying to get it to
work with the default configuration, from the command line, not through
this API.

First thing I'd try is just commenting out that line. I bet it'll work.

It looks like you're not loading the full default ruleset, which is
probably good. But it looks like then you're not defining the BAYES
rules, which you need - just setting that one score for an undefined rule.
I bet if you ran spamassassin --lint with those same settings
(rules_filename, etc.), it would complain about you setting a score for an
undefined rule.
Grep the default rules for BAYES:
body BAYES_00 eval:check_bayes('0.00', '0.01')
body BAYES_05 eval:check_bayes('0.01', '0.05')
body BAYES_20 eval:check_bayes('0.05', '0.20')
body BAYES_40 eval:check_bayes('0.20', '0.40')
body BAYES_50 eval:check_bayes('0.40', '0.60')
body BAYES_60 eval:check_bayes('0.60', '0.80')
body BAYES_80 eval:check_bayes('0.80', '0.95')
body BAYES_95 eval:check_bayes('0.95', '0.99')
body BAYES_99 eval:check_bayes('0.99', '1.00')

I wonder what "priority" does. You probably don't want the "learn" flags.
Oh, hah, none of the BAYES scores are high enough to go above your
required_score of 5. So you'll probably want to set your required_score to
something within the range of scores defined there, or change the scores.

I'd probably try a dedicated bayesian filter, maybe spamprobe. Although
there might not be a reason not to use SA. Especially if you like that
API.
If you get this working, I'd appreciate it if you documented it on the SA
wiki.
