I have recently transferred all of my email system to a new machine,
but spamassassin is not yet fully functional.

It seems that it is trying to use /var/mail/.spamassassin as a data
directory - this is fine, but it does not appear to be correctly set
up.
I purged all spamassassin setup and started again, just to prove what
was going on. There's no real change. I have put syslog output
generated by spamd at http://paste.debian.net/330559/
and /var/mail/.spamassassin has not been created, but spamd still wants
to use it.

Is /var/mail the home directory of your "mail" user? That would explain why SA is looking there for a .spamassassin directory.
