That's kind of old.  The latest stable release is 1.0.4.  The current alpha
is 1.1a3.

I'm not sure.  If you've not changed that setting you should be able to try

    cd
    find . -name '*messageinfo*'

If will probably be named spambayes.messageinfo.db, though messageinfo.fs is
an outside possibility.

Just because it used to work doesn't mean you haven't encountered a bug
that's been fixed in a more recent version.
