Hi

Firstly - you might need to ask this on a SA list rather than here,
however...

Your debug test is running as root. Exim, and SpamAssassin, almost
certainly are not. That's the first clue.

Almost certainly.

Try running it as the Exim or spamd user and see what happens. I would
surmise that something in the Pyzor config is only readable by root, or
it has some state file (I know little about how it works) which is only
writeable by root.

You may find more detail (like the traceback itself) in your SA logs -
most likely in /var/log/maillog.
