Beginner's question on DCC

Hi,
I am setting up Spamassassin on my home laptop, primarily as a learning
exercise. I am mainly following the cookbook at <http://wiki.apache.org/
spamassassin/SingleUserUnixInstall>.
However, I have a problem with DCC. dccproc is at /usr/local/bin/dccproc,
and the data files are in /var/dcc.
When I run the suggested test:
spamassassin -D < /usr/share/doc/spamassassin/examples/sample-nonspam.txt
I see the following in stderr:
dbg: dcc: got response: open(/var/dcc/map): Permission denied
Indeed, since the file /var/dcc/map is -rw------- 1 root root.
I suspect that the correct procedure is to move the files in /var/dcc
elsewhere, and give them appropriate permissions. But if I do, how do I
tell dcc where to find them? I see from "man dccproc" that I could use
the "-h <homedir>" argument, but I don't know how to go about that since
it's called from Spamassassin.
And is there a better solution anyway?
Thanks.
