Sorry about the delay repying.  Problem is solved.  Turned out to be a 
permissions problem on the mail spool directory.

Now all I have to do is work out how to integrate postfix and spamassassin and 
clamAV on *this* system.  Yes, I know there are loads of howto's around, but 
they expect you to be setting up a system from scratch.  This server is a 
running server, and I cannot take it out of service too long!

I have Spamassassin working fine from a system-wide procmail script which 
looks like:

/usr/bin/spamc | sendmail (parameters)

Any ideas anyone?
