amavis av_scan randomly skips av_scanners

[Martin Thomas Swaton]

hi everybody,

I could solve the issue, it was a directory check in the used perl 
scanner scripts. The author did check the amavis directory against a 
wrong regular expression.
I removed the unnecessary checks and everything works.

Cheers
Martin
