It sounds like amavisd can't open a BerkeleyDB database (probably the  
nanny/cache/snmp stuff).  Make sure that /var/amavis/db exists and is  
writable by the amavisd or vscan user, whatever you are running  
amavisd as:

# ls -l /var/amavis/db
total 556
-rw-r-----  1 vscan  vscan   24576 Sep  9 19:01 __db.001
-rw-r-----  1 vscan  vscan  131072 Sep  9 18:44 __db.002
-rw-r-----  1 vscan  vscan  270336 Sep 10 11:43 __db.003
-rw-r-----  1 vscan  vscan  360448 Sep  9 18:44 __db.004
-rw-r-----  1 vscan  vscan    4096 Sep  9 14:20 cache-expiry.db
-rw-r-----  1 vscan  vscan   90112 Sep 10 14:01 cache.db
-rw-r-----  1 vscan  vscan   12288 Sep  9 14:20 nanny.db
