This is probably not relevant, and you may have encountered it before,
but there is an entry in either the bogofilter or berkeley db README
files which warn you not to put the bogofilter database on an NFS
mounted volume.

I had a lot of problems using it on a linux NFS client and I eventually
moved the database to a local disk. I have a vague idea that some NFS
clients will work with berkeley db, but I don't know if NetBSD is one of
them.
