Yep. It was a parse error in the installed file not an open error.
cat /etc/clamd.avisd.conf
# Use system logger.
#LogSyslog
# Specify the type of syslog messages - please refer to 'man syslog'
# for facility names.
LogFacility LOG_MAIL
# This option allows you to save a process identifier of the listening
# daemon (main thread).
PidFile /var/run/amavisd/clamd.pid
# Remove stale socket after unclean shutdown.
# Default: disabled
#FixStaleSocket
# Run as a selected user (clamd must be started by root).
User amavis
# Path to a local socket file the daemon will listen on.
LocalSocket /var/spool/amavisd/clamd.sock
When I commented out LogSyslog and FixStaleSocket it started ok.
