I'm not at the server at the moment, so I'm writing this from memory.  I did 
check that the user clamav is a mamber of the amavis group.  Clamd is using 
/tmp/clamd.socket (IIRC) so I've set amavis to that.  Both clamd and amavisd 
restarted correctly, so I'm hoping that's fixed it.

Thanks for your help
