Autolearn=fail SpamAssassin

[Tom Stuart]

Hello, I just installed SpamAssassin on FreeBSD 7.1 and am
encountering an error with autolearn. It always says failed when
attempting to learn. I followed the documentation for setting it up
but I'm wondering if I missed something. Possibly the Bayes DB was not
created? Or is this something I need to do manually? Thanks for any
help :)
