I recognize this bug is already being tracked:
[831291] Loads with error - "Could not watch the specified folders".  Per Bugs: Tracker Detailed View, there is no resolution as of yet.

I want to include my error message in hopes of helping you resolve the problem.

I am receiving the same error upon launching Outlook.  I have the SpamBayes Outlook Addin, binary version 0.81 (September 9, 2003) installed.
The filtering is disabled when the error is displayed.  I can enable the filter afterwards and spam filter performs as normal.  However, the error is encoutered and filter is disabled every time I launch Outlook 2000 anew.  I also re-configured and re-enable the plugin, but this does not help.

Also, the add-in is not listed in the COM add-ins.  So, I ran the regsvr32.exe spambayes_addin.dll from the SpamBayes directory, this did not add to the list in the COM add-ins.

Machine specifications:
Dell Dimension 4100
P3 866
256MB Ram
10GB HardDrive
Windows 2000 service pack 4
Outlook 2000
