This is how I configure amavis, it may possibly get you going:

As root, run
 razor-admin create
 razor-admin register

It should create /root/.razor/razor-agent.conf

edit /root/.razor/razor-agent.conf
and explicitly set razorhome:

razorhome = /var/amavis/.razor

then copy root's entire .razor directory to amavis:

cp -r /root/.razor /var/amavis

This part is probably unnecessary, but I do it anyway:
razor-admin -create -home=/var/amavis/.razor

Both root and amavis will use razorhome = /var/amavis/.razor
