How did you save and restore a Bayes database?

You should save it on old server like this:
# su -s /bin/bash - defang
$ sa-learn -p /etc/mail/sa-mimedefang.cf --backup \
  > /tmp/md-bayes.sa-learn

And restore it on new server like this:
# su -s /bin/bash - defang
$ sa-learn -p /etc/mail/sa-mimedefang.cf --restore \
  /tmp/md-bayes.sa-learn

Check your bayes data like this:
# su -s /bin/bash - defang
$ sa-learn -p /etc/mail/sa-mimedefang.cf --dump magic
0.000          0          3          0  non-token data: bayes db version
0.000          0     388660          0  non-token data: nspam
0.000          0      43422          0  non-token data: nham
(...)

Check nspam (mine 388660) and nham (mine 43422) numbers if they are sane.

What is your bayes database configuration in sa-mimedefang.cf?
# grep bayes_ /etc/mail/sa-mimedefang.cf
