amavis runs under an user, which should have .spamassassin/ folder in its home
directory.

on debian, it's user "amvis" with home directory of /var/lib/amavis and
bayes database in /var/lib/amavis/.spamassassin/

so, on debian you must use:

sa-learn --dbpath /var/lib/amavis/.spamassassin/ ...

then check, if all files in that directory belong to amavis user:

# ls -la /var/lib/amavis/.spamassassin/
total 57496
drwx------ 2 amavis amavis     4096 Jan 31 12:59 .
drwxr-x--- 7 amavis amavis     4096 Jan 31 07:22 ..
-rw------- 1 amavis amavis    41976 Jan 31 13:00 bayes_journal
-rw------- 1 amavis amavis 42024960 Jan 31 12:57 bayes_seen
-rw------- 1 amavis amavis 16990208 Jan 31 12:59 bayes_toks
-rw-r--r-- 1 amavis amavis     1919 Nov 30 16:06 user_prefs
