Cannnot open bayes database permission denied

I am seeing this error in my maillog.  I followed the directions in the wiki
for creating site-wide bayes database, razor and pyzor.  I think I did it
correctly and yet I am getting this error.

My local.cf specifies 'bayes_path /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes' and
'bayes_file_mode 0770'.

The .../spamassassin directory is owned by the 'spam' group and has
permissions rwxrwsr-x.  I use spamc/spamd which executes as the user to whom
the spam is addressd.  So each user has been added to the spam group as well.

Any suggestions what I may have missed?

So 'nobody' should be added to the group as well?  Even still, it looks as if
even specific users are getting this permission error.

Are you handling that root's mail will be processed while executing as "nobody"?
