Yes, it definetly worked.  This, apparently, isn't a definitive enough test.

This is what did it.  I had a -c as the option, when I changed it to -u 
nobody, then it started working.  Either I missed that in the install notes, 
or it should be added, as apparently, the spamassassin .deb doesn't set that 
up for you automatically.
