If you try and create the same file (i.e. a blank text file with the same
name), does that work?  Does the user in the filename have permission to
create files in that directory?  (It would be bizarre if they didn't).

If you can't figure out why this is happening, it would be good to open a
bug report on <http://sf.net/projects/spambayes>, so that we (Mark,
probably) can try and figure out what the cause of this might be.
