Good point. Tried that, but although having administrator privileges, PM was showing the same error. So just changing her rights doesn't seem to work...

Yep, I've had the idea as well, since PM and SpamSieve are communicating via AppleScript. But it's not within the applications (re-installation didn't help) or the direct user/application support files, as I checked the permissions of those. I think it is buried deeper in the system. Maybe a framework used by both applications while talking. However, I don't know which ones and where :-). Guess I have to dig deeper. > PowerMail can write to surprising things.
