When I changed the group to zimbra on those files DPSAM came up without problems, all the instructions were cut/paste so I didn't make any typos. Any thoughts on that?

Nice clear instructions BTW.

NEVER never never never never never run anything perl as root if you can possibly avoid it. DSPAM Is mostly perl, so try and avoid it if possible.

And yes, you should be logged in as zimbra for everything. Sorry about not stating that more explicitly.
