Is there a problem if the database is shared? 

I have set up a shared database that is referenced by mutliple users
Each user has a different spam/ham ratio, but updating SCORE in the 
database would compute an average spam/ham ratio for all users.

This might not matter too much. but strictly speaking, a score should be 
kept for each user.

A separately defined score file would be more flexible, e.g.
dbasefile: /usr/var/bogofilter/wordlist.cdb
scorefile: $HOME/.bogofilter.db
