The problem isn't between spamassassin and spamass-milter, it's between
spamass-milter and sendmail. Your sendmail.mc should have a line like:

INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`spamassassin',`S=local:/var/run/spamass.sock, F=, 
T=C:10s;S:10s;R:30s;E:2m')dnl

, and your spamass-milter commandline should have the same path: 
"-p /var/run/spamass.sock"
