Hello Roger,

Sounds like you're having trouble with directories and/or permissions. 
Your message doesn't mention where you have bogofilter's wordlist, i.e.
the bogofilter_dir.  Normally it's in $HOME/.bogofilter/wordlist.db.  If
you want it elsewhere, you need to use the "-d /your/directory/" option
on the command line or add "bogofilter_dir=/your/directory/" in
/etc/bogofiter.cf.

If all your users are sharing one directory, make sure the permissions
are right, i.e. it can be read by everyone.

Hope this helps!

David
