spamassassin isn't starting after a backup

I just did a backup and once it was complete, spamassassin wouldn't start back up. This is the backup command I used:
/usr/local/psa/bin/psadump -f - | split -b1000m - dump.

And this is what I get when I try to restart spamassassin:
# service psa-spamassassin start
Insecure directory in $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Mail/SpamAssassin/CmdManageSA3.pm line 829.

Starting psa-spamassassin service: [ OK ]
# service psa-spamassassin status
is stopped
0

It errors but then claims to start, then a status indicates it's not running...

Any leads on what the "Insecure directory" is referring to?

Thanks
 
ok got it, my mistake.

when installing some other software I changed the permissions on directories, changed them back and it's all good.
 
I'm having the same problem but i don't remember installing anything :(

So what folders did you have problems with and what did you do to them to make it work :)
 
I think the only directories that may have been affected were:
/usr/local/bin and/or /usr/local/sbin

I set the permissions back to what they were originally. Spamassassin seems to require certain permissions so that its settings can't be tampered with.
