Ok, we can rule that out.

These two aren't accessing the same SpamBayes database at the same time are
they?  This wouldn't result in this problem, but could lead to database
corruption.

I'm not sure what might be happening, but this certainly does sound like a
good candidate for the cause of the problem.  You could have a look at the
SpamBayes log for the remote machine and see if it is moving any messages.
