Don't use the f-prot-autoupdate. It isn't necessary. The /etc/cron.hourly/update_virus_scripts will update all virus scanners that MailScanner is aware of. You can check that it's working by running the script and then looking at /var/log/maillog. You should see an entry saying whether F-Prot needed an update. If you have other scanners loaded then each of them will have an entry one after the other.
