Spamassassin Bayes not working with Procmail

[jeff986 <je...@netstar.com>]

I've installed SpamAssassin (3.2.4), including DB_File to use the Bayesian
filters..    If I execute spamassassin directly from the command line, it
executes as expected and uses the bayes filters:

% spamassasin -D bayes < spammsg2.txt 
[6868] dbg: bayes: tie-ing to DB file R/O
/home/jeff/.spamassassin/bayes_toks
[6868] dbg: bayes: tie-ing to DB file R/O
/home/jeff/.spamassassin/bayes_seen
[6868] dbg: bayes: found bayes db version 3
    .
    .
    .
.. and from there functions correctly.    "Great success!"  -Borat

However, if I execute spamassassin from within procmail (called the same,
with "-D bayes"), instead I see this in the log:

procmail: Executing "/usr/local/bin/spamassassin,-D,bayes"
[6866] dbg: bayes: DB_File module not installed, cannot use bayes

So..  clearly DB_File is installed as it works in the first example..  this
error message baffles me.   I've checked every possible combinaton of
eveything I can think of, but ..  the problem persists (and is making me
quite crazy).

Things it's not:

1) It's not the bayes database, as I've used sa-learn to build and check its
contents.  I've also set the "usage" thresholds, as appropriate, to a
suitable level.    It's not a path problem or a file permissions problem on
the config/database files or executables (all are the same, e.g. 
/usr/local/bin/ ... ) , nor on the DB_File modules or libraries.   
2) It's no task permissions problem I can find or imagine;  spamassassin
when run by itself from a command line always works (regardless of my
uid/gid);  however, no matter what my UID/GID calling SA thru Procmail
always yields the same "cannot use" result;  If I copy procmail and run it
*not* setuid/gid as root/god (or as anyone/anything), it still fails. 
3) It's not two versions PERL (since I don't have two installed);
4) It's not two versions of DB_File (that was the problem during
installation, which I squashed)
5) It's not a file permissions problem.

It must be something about procmail, but..  I officially have no clue.   
Comments?    Ideas?   Thanks.

You don't happen to have PERL5LIB or PERLLIB in your environment, do you?

Where is DB_File installed, and what's the output of "perl -V"?

I'm not using the environment variables.   Should I be?
