When you sudo, $HOME isn't changed, so that's not strange.

If you are *not* going to use user-specific scores, bayes databases etc., run 
spamd with -x (--nouser-config) and possibly as a designated user, move any 
settings from /root/.spamassassin/user_prefs to a global configuration file, 
and set bayes_path to an absolute path prefix (the same goes for 
awl_whitelist_path if you use it).

Have you read README.spamd?
