ot: clamd lstat failed

I'm trying to install amavisd-new and clamav on a new Centos
4.x server,
they both seem to run OK, but, I see 'lstat() failed' in the
maillog:

is that because clamd needs permissions to /var/amavis/tmp/
?

I tried  : "chmod -R 0770 /var/amavis/tmp"  but it
didn't help

# groups clamav
clamav : clamav amavis


# ls -al /var/amavis
total 72

It's the other way around:

amavis:110:clamav


INSTALL:

- some virus scanners run as daemons or change UID when
checking files.
  It is easiest to run such virus scanners under the same
UID/GID (or at least
  within the same group) as amavisd, to avoid file
permission problems
  when virus scanner reads files prepared for checking by
amavisd daemon.
  Some virus scanners may require write permission to the
$TEMPBASE directory
  to be able to create auxiliary files there.

  If a different UID is preferred for an AV scanner, a
solution for ClamAV
  is to add user clamav to the amavis group (e.g.: 
vscan:110:clamav
  in a file /etc/group), and then add: 
AllowSupplementaryGroups yes
  to clamd.conf.

Oops, sorry, you showed the optput of 'groups' command,
not a line in /etc/groups. Seems you have it correctly.
Perhaps you are missing the  AllowSupplementaryGroups yes
in clamd.conf.
