You shouldn't need --sync, unless you want to force the journal to be synced and deleted when you run sa-learn. In general it will decide if it needs to be synced on its own. It's also redundant if you have --force-expire, as SA always syncs the journal prior to doing expiry. In general, the journal disappearing is normal. It's just a "holding tank" for atime updates (and tokens if you have learn to journal enabled), It periodically gets dumped into the main database and deleted during the expiry checks. So, don't be concerned about it disappearing, that just means it's been synced and hasn't been recreated by mail scanning.
