Ok, this must be one of those Self Help Sessions.  I've resolved the 
SPAM Assassin issues.  I went into the 
.cpan/build/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.55 build directory and after reseting my 
umask to 022 (it's normally 077 for Root),  I exceuted the following:

make clean
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

service mimedfang restart also restarted the  use of the SPAM Assassin 
tools.

I hope that someone else finds these instructions and diagnostics useful.

Would it be possible to write a Spam Assassin / Mimedefang  interface. 
 Apparently MimeDefang finds everything it needs to attempt to launch 
the filter, but SPAM Assassin doe not checking for the permissions it 
installs.
