Spamd can be configured to run as a different user and on FreeBSD at least -- I don't run SA on my Fedora box -- it defaults to running as user "nobody" if it is invoked as "root" with no "-u [name]" option.
Try "grep spamd /var/log/maillog" and see if your spamd is reverting to "nobody" when it runs.
