SpamAssassin and the nonexistent home directory.

I'm confused as to why on box #1 I have in /etc/rc.conf:

spamd_enable="YES"
spamd_flags="-c -u spamd -H /var/spool/spamd -m 10"

And spamd is writing to /var/spool/spamd/.spamassassin

on box #2 and #3, I have the exact same settings yet I see:

/nonexistent/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock: No such file or directory
Feb 21 00:06:44 mail spamd[39002]: auto-whitelist: open of auto-whitelist
file failed: locker: safe_lock: cannot create tmp lockfile

/nonexistent/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock.xxx.xxx.xxx.39002 for
/nonexistent/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock : No such file or directory
Feb 21 00:06:44 mail spamd[39002]: bayes: locker: safe_lock: cannot create
tmp lockfile /nonexistent/.spamassassin/bayes.lock.xxx.xxx.xxx.39002 for
/nonexistent/.spamassassin/bayes.lock: No such file or directory
