You don't appear to have a $spam_quarantine_method or indeed any quarantine methods.

If I : grep quarantine_method amavisd.conf | grep -v '#'

I get:

$virus_quarantine_method        = 'sql:';
$spam_quarantine_method         = 'sql:';
$bad_header_quarantine_method   = 'sql:';

You do need something for those as far as I'm aware, you need something there, though there are default values, 
they rely on using the home directory (for example $MYHOME = '/var/spool/amavis'). The QUARANTINEDIR seems to
be for virus emails only.
