I think I figured it out.
I wasn't sure exactly what I did, because I spent most of the day Saturday trying to deal with the clamav problem. I had tried the RPMs, then building from source, then I ripped it out again and tried the RPMs (being mkore careful). Now I'm still having problems, but different ones.
The clamav-milter warning was that a file did not exist - in particular, /usr/share/locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES/initscripts.mo. In desparation, I linked this to what I thought would have been an English version: /usr/share/locale/uk/LC_MESSAGES/initscripts.mo. I got rid of the "File not found" error - and introduced this problem. Removing that link (just found it) fixed this problem.
Thanks for the help,
-Don
