 Can anyone tell me what we're doing wrong?

What are the permissions on /home/vpopmail? Does the vpopmail user have
RWX acccess to it?

What about /home/vpopmail/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist? is it a regular
file, or did someone create a directory by this name?

This whole setup is working properly on two other mailservers and we can't 
see what's different about the one. Any suggestions would be welcome.
