Cannot open bayes databases

[Joe Polk <li...@javelinux.com>]

Anyone know what causes this? I get it running sa-learn as root or anybody
else. This just started happening, though I did update recently.

Cannot open bayes databases /home/jav/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed:
Inappropriate ioctl for device
Cannot open bayes databases /home/jav/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/W: tie failed:
Inappropriate ioctl for device

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.

Hmm, without more info it's tough to answer why you got that error... It 
could be a non-existant directory issue, or a non-file matching the * (ie: 
a subdirectory named bayes_toks instead of a file)

Could you run this command and post the results:

ls -l /home/jav/.spamassassin/
