spamd/spamc will *NEVER* use root's bayes db. If spamd finds itself
running as root it will setuid itself to nobody for safety.

AFAIK, calling from procmail will cause spamc to be executed as the user
to whom the message will be delivered, so it should be creating a bayes
DB for each user.

If you wish to defeat that, pass a specific non-root user with the -u
parameter to spamc or spamd OR set up a globally rwx directory and
bayes_path (caution: bayes_path takes a path and partial filename, read
the docs carefully)
