CentOS - Apr 2009 - Clamd and Amavis

I'm trying to get amavis  to play using clamd and tried to follow this:

# ### http://www.clamav.net/
['ClamAV-clamd',
   \&ask_daemon, ["CONTSCAN {}\n",
"/var/run/clamav/clamd"],
   qr/\bOK$/, qr/\bFOUND$/,
   qr/^.*?: (?!Infected Archive)(.*) FOUND$/ ],
# # NOTE: run clamd under the same user as amavisd, or run it under its own
# #   uid such as clamav, add user clamav to the amavis group, and then add
# #   AllowSupplementaryGroups to clamd.conf;
# # NOTE: match socket name (LocalSocket) in clamav.conf to the socket name in
# #   this entry; when running chrooted one may prefer socket
"$MYHOME/clamd".

# ### http://www.clamav.net/ and CPAN  (memory-hungry! clamd is preferred)
# # note that Mail::ClamAV requires perl to be build with threading!
# ['Mail::ClamAV', \&ask_clamav, "*", [0], [1],
qr/^INFECTED: (.+)/],

I came unstuck with the instruction regarding the LocalSocket.  If I change 
that in clamd.conf to $MYHOME/amavisd.sock or $MYHOME/clamd the clamd service 
won't start, saying the socket doesn't exist.

What am I doing wrong?

And maybe that's true, did you check whether it exists?
I think your question is much better suited for the amavisd list.

Check the settings match in both /etc/amavisd.conf AND /etc/clamd.conf 
(eg, /var/run/clamav/clamd). IIRC they are different by default so you 
must change one of them.

Also, in /etc/clamd.conf make sure you've commented out TCPSocket if 
you're using a local UNIX socket.
