 Umm... you did run 'sa-learn --import' to upgrade the databases to the 
SpamAssassin 3 format didn't you? When I went from SA 2.64 to 3.01 I had 
'issues' with a few mail servers where the db upgrade didn't work properly 
and I got messages like:
"bayes db version 2 is not able to be used, aborting!"
in my mail logs. In the end I deleted the existing bayes databases and 
re-learnt everything frrom my existing corpus of spam & ham (this was after 
doing the sa-learn --import which kicked out a bunch of error messages and 
failed).
 Speaking of spam corpuses, can anyone recommend a good (and up to date) 
archive of spam messages to keep bayes databases up to date? I used to use 
n.a.n.a.e but for various reasons don't have access to a newsfeed any more.
