    Well, I solved it!
    
    If I cd to /var/lib/clamav where the databases are, it doesn't need to 
    chdir back to wherever the working dir was when the script was started.
    
    The bit of code that is failing:
    
    libreshclam.c
    
         if (currDir[0] != '\0') {
             /* Restore CWD */
             if (chdir(currDir)) {
                 logg("!Failed to change back to original directory %s\n", 
    currDir);
                 status = FC_EDIRECTORY;
                 goto done;
             }
             logg("*Current working dir restored to %s\n", currDir);
         }
    
    I suspect it's simply a permissions issue.
    
    Good luck,
    Reio
