clamav-server configuration

[Lenore Horner]

Thanks Steve. The problem turned out to be that I had run 
open -a Automator ~/Library/Services/ClamavScanIt.workflow && osascript -e 'quit app "Automator"'
from someplace other than my home directory.  The copy command worked, but the workflow didn't.  I think port commands do the same thing (not run complaining about lack of existence or permissions) when I don't pay attention and try to run from somewhere like my homework assignments folder.  Remembering to do cd and then running the open worked fine.

Nothing obvious happened when I did so I don't actually know if it's working.  Did the command actually fail?  Why is it complaining about the non-existence of a directory which is very much alive and well?
