It appears you're running it as the wrong user via cron and the correct user by hand. Who owns that leftover stuff in the temp directory? Who owns /etc/mail/spamassassin/sa-update-keys? They should be the same, and the sa-update-keys directory should be rwx------ for that user (and maybe also owned by that user's primary group).
