cannot opendir /var/lib/spamassassin/3.001007

Hi there
I have a machine running Fedora Core 6 with Postfix and am attempting to
get the most recent Spamassassin running.
I check my /var/log/maillog and I keep seeing the error listed below

-----------------------Error----------------------------------------------
config: cannot opendir /var/lib/spamassassin/3.001007: Permission denied
-----------------------Error----------------------------------------------

What exactly do I need to do to resolve this?
I am a newbie to linux

Whatever user spamd is running as needs read access to 
/var/lib/spamassassin.
