Systemwide Bayes ...
I'm still having trouble switching to a systemwide Bayes. I have the
following lines in my local.cf:
# Enable the Bayes system
use_bayes 1
bayes_file_mode 0777
bayes_path /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes/bayes
Here's the directory.
drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody nobody 1024 May 19 06:07 bayes
It has a lovely recent date. but none of the bayes files are going into it.

You *do* have a home dir for your spamd as you told in your other posting.
So, use that! /etc/mail is usually somewhat permission-restricted or your
sendmail will complain, also /etc is not intended to hold such data. Move
the directory to your spamd homedir, set filemode to 0666, change owner
and group to match spamd, there is no need to have 777 for the bayes
directory. Again, test with spamassassin -D --lint.

The bayes_path should actually point to a file prefix.
As shown above, this would create:
/etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes/bayes_toks
/etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes/bayes_seen
Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf man page says:
bayes_path /path/to/file (default: ~/.spamassassin/bayes)
Path for Bayesian probabilities databases. Several databases
will be created, with this as the base, with "_toks", "_seen" etc.
appended to this filename; so the default setting results in files
called "~/.spamassassin/bayes_seen", "~/.spamassassin/bayes_toks" etc.

Remember that this should be a file name. You showed a dir, maybe
there's the problem?
