However, in the end it appears it's working.
At least as far a getting an email header line that states:

"X-Virus-Status: Clean
X-Virus-Scanned: clamav-milter 0.103.0 at auxilary"

In summary, knowing what logs are where, paying attention to
what the message mean, assuring  you have *exactly* the same 
path in the appropriate config files, assigning proper rights/ownership 
of files, goes a long way toward achieving success.

Thanks for the patience and guidance.

More needs to be done, of course. but this is a boost.
