It wasn't non-existent files because I know they existed. As I said, I got the same error with root. Apparently, when the update ran it screwed up something. I found some posts via google that pointed to a new Bayes db needed. What I did was, first turn off user_prefs. Something I kinda wanted to do anyway. Then I moved root's bayes files to /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes and set the perms 775. That worked. I don't know which did or if it was the combination.
