Postfix+amavisd won't go

Hi all, I'm having a problem getting postfix+amavis to deliver mail to /var/spool/mail/ Nov 20 16:25:35 ncshans amavis[5909]: starting. amavis 0.3.12pre8 Mon Mar 17 18:52:54 UTC 2003 Nov 20 16:25:35 ncshans amavis[5909]: Cannot create temporary directory - check permissions Nov 20 16:25:35 ncshans amavis[5909]: do_exit:2191 - ending execution with 75 Nov 20 16:25:35 ncshans amavis[5910]: starting. amavis 0.3.12pre8 Mon Mar 17 18:52:54 UTC 2003 Nov 20 16:25:35 ncshans amavis[5910]: Cannot create temporary directory - check permissions Nov 20 16:25:35 ncshans amavis[5910]: do_exit:2191 - ending execution with 75 Nov 20 16:25:35 ncshans amavis[5911]: starting. amavis 0.3.12pre8 Mon Mar 17 18:52:54 UTC 2003 Nov 20 16:25:35 ncshans amavis[5911]: Cannot create temporary directory - check permissions Nov 20 16:25:35 ncshans amavis[5911]: do_exit:2191 - ending execution with 75 Nov 20 16:25:35 ncshans amavis[5906]: starting. amavis 0.3.12pre8 Mon Mar 17 18:52:54 UTC 2003 Nov 20 16:25:35 ncshans amavis[5906]: Cannot create temporary directory - check permissions Nov 20 16:25:35 ncshans amavis[5906]: do_exit:2191 - ending execution with 75 Nov 20 16:25:36 ncshans postfix/pipe[5907]: A19B824479: to=, orig_to=, relay=vscan, delay=23606, status=deferred (temporary failure) Nov 20 16:25:36 ncshans postfix/pipe[5904]: 75B972446F: to=, orig_to=, relay=vscan, delay=23607, status=deferred (temporary failure) Nov 20 16:25:36 ncshans postfix/pipe[5903]: 61C3124476: to=, orig_to=, relay=vscan, delay=23606, status=deferred (temporary failure) Nov 20 16:25:36 ncshans postfix/pipe[5908]: AD73924472: to=, orig_to=, relay=vscan, delay=23607, status=deferred (temporary failure) I have changed /var to world writeable, made the /var/amavis dir and made it world writeable - no joy. I searched the amavis list arichives, only one similar question came up with no replies. This is on a 8.2 machine, but I have to implement it on a 8.0 production server and I can't afford any downtime. Any insights would be appreciated.
