Problem integrating ClamAV into Amavis

I'm running an rather old version of Amavis (not able to
upgrade it at
this time). I've been using amavis with uvscan, but am now
trying to
integrate clamav to replace uvscan.

I've been very careful to verify that the amavis stanza in
amavisd.conf points to the same socket file as clamd.conf
specifies,
I've configured clamav to run as user amavis, and I've set
ownership
of the clamav files to amavis.

When I start amavis I get the following in amavis.log:
Jul 10 10:02:16 pd.iowatelecom.net amavisd[7280]: (07280-01)
WARN: all
primary virus scanners failed, considering backups

The appropriate section of amavisd.conf looks like:
  ['Clam Antivirus-clamd',
    &ask_daemon, ["CONTSCAN {}n",
"/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl"],
    qr/bOK$/, qr/bFOUND$/,
    qr/^.*?: (?!Infected Archive)(.*) FOUND$/ ],

clamd.conf contains:
LocalSocket /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl

so you can see that both clamav and amavis are looking at
the same
socket. Any clues as to why amavis isn't recognizing the
existence of
clamd running on the specified socket?

This error message does not tell us much. This looks like
Debian. See
this post:

If your version of sed does not support 'in place' editing,
manually
edit the files in question.

After looking at the clamav users list I see that it appears
you have
everything set. If everything is the way it should be and
you still
have problems, you might try rebooting.

Is this a Sarge system? Are you using Sarge Volatile for
ClamaAV?
