[AMaViS-user] Yet another Amavis won't start

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

I am using Fedora Core 1 and Postfix. When I run
     amavisd debug
get the following message.

Jul 31 16:30:56 ns2.dnssvr.net /usr/local/sbin/amavisd[340]: TROUBLE

******** End full debug output********

I have the following installed:
BerkleyDB version: 4.1 
Module BerkeleyDB          0.25
perl, v5.8.3
Latest amavisd-new from http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/

In /var/amavis the db directory has the following permissions:
drwxr-x---  2 amavis amavis 4096 Jul 30 19:49 db

There is nothing in the db directory
I also tried with a chmod -R 777 /var/amavis to see if that would help. 
I have read the FAQ, searched the archives for the mailing list, read
the help files.

As far as I can tell I have met all the requirements and have
everything properly installed and the paths correct.

What am I possibly missing? 
What should I try next?

Thanks,
Roger
