printer,

You don't provide details on your setup, i.e how bogofilter is run or
what permissions are set.

My mail server is running Mandrake 10.0 with postfix-2.1.1-0.1.100mdk
and procmail-3.22-4mdk.  Bogofilter is run by procmail on the server,
with files in /var/spool/bogofilter, which is permitted:

  drwxr-xr-x  2 mail mail 4096 Nov 12 16:32 /var/spool/bogofilter/

Here are the file permissions:

  -rw-------  1 root   mail       8192 Nov  6 17:24 __db.001
  -rw-------  1 root   mail    5251072 Nov  6 17:24 __db.002
