AJ "Dead-Eye" Willmer found this bug recently in the vinstall (I wrote
a fix for it already but it won't go out for about a week). The
workaround is to add the following extra flag to the SA in the
.procmailrc files that need to read .spamassassin/user_prefs:

    |/usr/local/bin/spamc -U /var/run/spamd.sock -u <username>

(replace <username> with the real username).
