Ewww. That's correct. entity_contains_virus_clamd() uses "SCAN $path" 
when talking to the socket instead of "STREAM" so clamd must have access 
to the MD spool in the path as MD.

So my last message suggesting 'socat' was wrong; it won't work unless 
you have the MD spool shared between the MD host and the clamd host, 
mounted on the same path.
