Why do I get this "every-other" error behavior? It can't find or parse the config file once, then the next time it can? And it's a pattern, not just this one occurrence. freshclam.conf below

Have you checked if you have more than one daemon running? BTW, I noticed that installing clamav and clamav-daemon from Volatile did not automatically install a new clamav-freshclam, I had to include it in the list or risk ending up with mixed versions.
