Just for a quick test I enabled spamassassin by running "spamd -d" 
to start the daemon and then created a filter in Kmail that would 
execute "spamc" on all incoming mail.  This is with the standard 
FC3 distribution.  From the amount of time it took to download the 
mail from the server I could tell that it was processing the 
messages and there were logs of the scan in /var/log/maillog of the 
form:

Mar 22 22:33:28 LinMaster spamd[5925]: connection from LinMaster 
[127.0.0.1] at port 32816 
Mar 22 22:33:28 LinMaster spamd[5925]: info: setuid to mklinke 
succeeded 
Mar 22 22:33:28 LinMaster spamd[5925]: processing message 
<4240E136.7040100 at ieee.org> for mklinke:500. 
Mar 22 22:33:30 LinMaster spamd[5925]: clean message (0.0/5.0) for 
mklinke:500 in 2.6 seconds, 3630 bytes.

scantime=2.6,size=3630,mid=<4240E136.7040100 at ieee.org>,autolearn=ham

In my ~mklinke/.spamassassin directory I had the "local.cf" file 
mentioned in the docs (  /usr/share/doc/spamassassin-3.0.1 ) as 
well as in /etc/mail/spamassassin.
 
I think you'll want to invoke spamd with the -L switch rather than 
"spamc -L" that you tried and then you'll have to post-filter spam 
marked messages with additional kmail filters to move to the 
directory of your choice.
