Sorry for insisting, but can you confirm that if you run spamc from the
command line, you do get the X-Spam headers back from the mail it spits
back?
The reason I ask is that that's exactly what my code does: it launches spamc
just like you would from the command line.

Check which options you run spamd with, maybe it's trying to create its
config file or running under the wrong UID or something.

moremagic:~$ cat /etc/default/spamassassin 
# /etc/default/spamd.conf
