I had a similar problem . My path was ok but the problem was with the
ownership of Bayes files .I had set it to root.root . Later from the Spamd
Log ( with spamd in Debug mode ) I found that it's not able to read the
files ( permisson denied ) .I fixed it by setting the ownership to qldap .

I believe you've put your files in the wrong place. The bayes_path
directive specifies not only the path of the files, but also the root
of their filenames - SA simply appends _seen and _toks to the specified
"path" to form the full path and filename. This allows you to, for
example, specify
bayes_path /etc/mail/spamassassin/shared_bayes
and name the files
/etc/mail/spamassassin/shared_bayes_toks and
/etc/mail/spamassassin/shared_bayes_seen

In your case, SA is looking for /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes/bayes_toks
and /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes/bayes_seen, while it appears you've
placed them one /bayes subdirectory lower.

(Note that this is the behaviour I've observed under win32. I cannot
say whether it also applies on other platforms.)

Hope that helps,
