sa-learn problem (bayes db version 2)

[LuKreme <kr...@kreme.com>]

when trying to run sa-learn

/usr/local/bin/sa-learn -D --spam --mbox $HOME/Mail/TheMailBox

on one of my mailboxes I got:

Cannot open bayes databases /home/*munged*/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/W: 
lock failed: Interrupted system call
Learned from 0 message(s) (1 message(s) examined).
ERROR: the Bayes learn function returned an error, please re-run with 
-D for more information

running with -D gives me:

debug: bayes: found bayes db version 2
debug: bayes: bayes db version 2 is not able to be used, aborting!
debug: Score set 0 chosen.
debug: Initialising learner
debug: Syncing Bayes and expiring old tokens...
debug: lock: 13545 created /home/*munged*/.spamassassin/bayes.mutex
debug: lock: 13545 trying to get lock on 
/home/*munged*/.spamassassin/bayes with 300 timeout


which then proceeds to timeout

looking at the permissions in the .spamassassin directory they all look 
right:

  160 -rw-------  1 *munged*  staff   196608 Jul 28 14:39 auto-whitelist
  608 -rw-------  1 *munged*  staff   602112 Mar 22 03:37

The db error concerns me, obviously.  Do I have to do something with 
bayes to get it working with SA3?  the identical command works for 
other users on the system, but each one I checked had a bayes db 
version 3.
