uvscan is exiting with an exit code of 6, which (according to what little
documentation I have) means "A general problem occurred". (The comment
in mimedefang.pl adds a harsh retort.)
You need to file a bug report with NAI asking them to write decent
software, or at least document their return codes a little better so
you can take prudent action.
If you find that these are all false positives, you can edit the
routine interpret_nai_code to return OK if uvscan exits with an
exit code of 6.

David.
