Reload not working after installing 2.7.0

[Bob Mortimer]

I've just upgraded my installation from (I think) 2.6.4 and all's 
working fine except 'service amavisd reload' no longer works. I get:

Reloading amavisd: Signalling a SIGHUP to a running daemon [9701] [  OK  ]

But amavisd isn't running, I get a connection refused message and need 
to issue either a start or restart to get it going.

I run a daily crontab "sa-update -D && service amavisd reload" which now 
won't work.

Here's what I get at log level 5:

Any suggestions?
