Broken.  Startup script does:

su - nobody -c '/usr/sbin/junkbuster /etc/junkbuster/config' &

But /var/log/junkbuster is installed with permissions:

[root@pc junkbuster]# rpm -qlv junkbuster
...
drwxr--r--     root     root         4096 Mar  2 08:40 /var/log/junkbuster
...

There is no way a process started with "su - nobody" is going to be
able to write into that log dir unless it was setuid root which would be
silly of course.  :-)
