    You can't run spamassassin as root (see your
    configuration).
    Well, it fall back to nobody user, because you don't
    specify anything.
    The problem is that the working directory is in root
    dir (/root)
    Well, spamassassin running in nobody try to write in
    root directory ! It's forbidden
    Edit you conf and find nobody
    replace it by a spamc user, you have created before
    ... (don't put root, it's dangerous)

    ok see if it's work
    see ya
