Help needed re amavis and spamassassin

All the incoming mail on our system is processed through amavis for virus 
and spam checking. amavis calls spamassassin to do the actual spam 
scoring.

I had to change one of the spam configuration files today to disable an 
external URBL test that wasn't working properly (DNS_FROM_SECURITYSAGE was 
getting improperly triggered for all mail). I reran spamassassin: it 
linted properly and didn't show that test being triggered when I ran 
the standard spam/non-spam messages through.

But, for some reason, DNS_FROM_SECURITYSAGE is still showing up in all the 
mail run through amavis. I think it's because (according to amavis 
documentation at http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/ )

"when configured to call Mail::SpamAssassin (this is optional), it orders 
SA to pre-load its config files and to precompile the patterns, so 
performance is at least as good as with spamc/spamd setup. All Perl 
modules are pre-loaded by a parent process at startup time, so forked 
children need not re-compile the code, and can hopefully share some memory 
for compiled code"

So HOW do I get amavis to re-pre-load those files? I've tried

rcamavis restart

rcamavis reload

rcamavis stop
rcamavis start

rcamavis stop
rcamavis start
rcamavis force-reload

and nothing works.
(rcamavis is SuSE's shortcut for invoking /etc/init.d/amavis )

And I can't seem to find anything useful in the online amavis 
documentation.

What am I missing?
