Hi, you probably messed up the permissions by running sa-learn or any other tool that messes with the bayes files directly (i.e. not via spamd) as root.
Your changes work because they allow read/write access to anyone on the
system, which is not very secure. Best would be to do something like:
chown spamuser:wheel <files>
chmod 0660 <files>
Then restart spamd and see of it doesn't complain. This should allow
access for spamd and for users in the wheel group (administrative accounts).
Regards,
Tom
