I changed this to:
    #chmod -R 1777 /usr/spamassassin
and it appears to be working now, although I shall be trying to send
mail to other users.

Thank you for setting me in the right direction.

I am wondering though why the previous permissions works on my other
server (Debian Sarge, Sendmail, SpamAssassin 3.0.3, and firing from
procmail)  Is it because calling SA from procmail I used
"DROPPRIVS=yes"?
