For the record I've solved it. Turns out that there is already an
amavis.pp loaded - it is included in the selinux-policy-targetted
package- despite the fact amavis isn't part of RHEL/ CentOS5.

Solution was to remake my module and make sure it ends up named
"myamavis.pp" - and now I can load it with no problems.  In Dan
Walsh's blog ( http://danwalsh.livejournal.com/8637.html ) he does
recommend putting "my" on the front of every custom module in order to
prevent name clashes - just wish I'd read and heeded his advice
earlier.

Cheers,
