In that spamassassin config file I have (I tried without this entry and
get same thing):

dcc_dccifd_path /var/dcc

In the /var/dcc I have:

srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Feb 9 18:01 dccifd

Try this instead:

dcc_dccifd_path         /var/dcc/dccifd

It's rather unfortunate that the SA config option naming convention has no consistency whatsoever for the use of the word "path".

Sometimes options named path are expecting a path with no filename (dcc_path), sometimes a path plus partial filename (bayes_path), and sometimes, a full path with filename.

dcc_dccifd_path actually expects a full path+filename, although the documentation fails to make this clear, and actually seems to reinforce the concept that this option is a directory.

Tsk. Tsk. Strike one for the manpage team, and strike one for the option naming convention team :)
