email headers show no spam tests performed

Hi list members,

I am new to the list and tried searching for my particular problem but
nothing's turned up yet.  I'm using spamassassin v3.2.3 on Slackware
12.0 with Postfix.  I already have content filtering working and
messages pass through spamassassin but I don't see any tests being
performed in the email headers.

Here's an email header:
X-Spam-spam: Flag NO Status No score=0.0 required=3.0 tests=none
autolearn=ham X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.2.3 (2007-08-08)
on k2.kuiperbelt.net

I have a separate user spamassassin with home
directory /var/lib/spamassassin. I'm using spamc/spamd combination with
postfix.  Here are the options I am using to start spamd.

/usr/bin/spamd -D -H /var/lib/spamassassin -d -m 5 -l
-C /etc/mail/spamassasin -r /var/run/spamd.pid -s /var/log/spamd.log -u
spamassassin -g spamassassin -p 783.

Why am I not seeing any tests being performed in the email headers?
spamd.log seems to be doing filtering.  Here's an excerpt from
spamd.log.

###
Sun Oct 28 13:43:38 2007 [16165] info: spamd: clean message (0.0/3.0)

sassin:500 in 0.1 seconds, 1060 bytes.

rport=41104,mid=<20...@stuart.iit.edu>,autolearn=ham

I am not sure if this would be important but since I've turned on
debugging on spamd, I see the following entry in logs repeated.

###
Sun Oct 28 14:57:02 2007 [3059] dbg: prefork: periodic ping from spamd
parent
Sun Oct 28 14:57:02 2007 [3059] dbg: prefork: sysread(8) not ready,
wait max 300
 secs

Please help.  Thanks,

Daryl,

Thank you very much.  I dropped -C and filter now works perfect.

Thanks again for your quick reply...I've been struggling with since
yesterday.

Drop the -C option from your startup parameters.  -C controls the rules 
path, not the --siteconfigpath that you think it does.
