It depends on whether I'm 'root' or not.  Attached are four files, the
outputs of:

        # run as user...
        find /var/lib/clamav -ls > /tmp/usertest 2> /tmp/usertest_stderr
        # run as root...
        find /var/lib/clamav -ls > /tmp/roottest 2> /tmp/roottest_stderr

Differing results suggest the error is permission related.  Now I just
tested 'clamscan' as 'root' and it works:

        root [VT] ~> echo hello > /tmp/foo ;  clamscan /tmp/foo ; echo $?
        /tmp/foo: OK

        ----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------

Odd, I thought I tested it as 'root' last night, before sending the
report, but not according to my command line history.

I also just tested 'clamscan' under a second user account on the same
system, which fails with the same 'cli_loaddbdir()...' error.


HTH...
