Home (/var/dspam) deleted; now unable to recreate data.

Debian 7, Postfix 2.6, Dovecot 2.0.14, dspam 3.10.1

Everything was up and running smoothly, but in a poor attempt to force data
and statistics to be restarted from scratch (and to move Home to a new
location), changed the location of Home in the config file, deleted
/var/spool/dspam and started dspam back up. Let me reiterate that *nothing*
else was changed. We stopped dspam, removed the directory, started dspam.
Boom.

Instead of recreating the file structure in the new location (as it had to
do the first time it was ever run), it spits out the following any time a
spam message is moved into the junk folder or "dspam_stats -H <user>" is
run (or anything else involving dspam occurs, of course).

such file or directory

I've tried manually creating the directories (though I then of course have
no way of knowing how to properly secure them or what permissions they
dspam requires on them), but even though dspam is able to create the
bobsmith.css and bobsmith.lock file after that, anything involving spam or
training results in a complaint about trying to find signatures.

I've also tried reinstalling and the removing and installing again, in the
hopes that would somehow spur it to generate the file structure within
/var/newlocation/dspam that it needs. Still no luck.

Any help to get over this dumb mistake would be sincerely appreciated.
