Knowing that I wanted clamd to be able to scan any part of the file
system, I did reconfigure clamd to run as root by commenting out the
config param that change the user that clamd ran as.

So I don't think this issue is permissions related.  But I could still
be wrong.

I tried it without changing who clamd was running as and got
completely different permissions errors than what I'm seeing now.
