So, you're using procmail - which user does that rule apply to?

It looks rather to me as though procmail (your normal way of invoking 
spamassassin) runs as "you", and then you're trying to run spamassassin from 
the command line as root.

Not surprising if you get different results.

If my assumption here is incorrect, please provide further details so we can 
try to provide further diagnosis.

Antony.
