so you use LMTP between your MTA and amavisd, right? Have you tried to 
set the loglevels (both for MTA and for amavisd) to a bit more verbose? 
I suppose you should get something more descriptive in maillog or 
messages. Anyway, what kind of MTA do you use?
You should also check if /usr/local/virusmails and /usr/local/amavis is 
writable by nobody:nogroup.

This info is not enough for me to help you. Maybe if you can post your 
configuration files, but I'm not so experienced in MTA-specific issues, 
I use Postfix for mail servers I maintain. Anyway, I think looking at 
the code is not necessary, there are a bunch of happy amavisd-new 2.4.x 
users, so I don't think it has such a trivial bug in itself. I also 
suggest you to write a new amavisd.conf from scratch, since there are 
syntactical changes between 2.3.x and 2.4.x config files. The old one 
should work, however, but it might be better to start with a new one.
Mail is CC'd to ports@, maybe someone can help you on the list.
