Read again, this is "userhomedir/tmp/clamd.socket" and not "/tmp/clamd.socket". clamd does not use the socket "userhomedir/tmp/clamd.socket" unless you tell it to do so. And freshclam does not try to signal to that socket unless it cannot find the correct clamd.conf or has some other problem that you created. Find out why your freshclam is trying the wrong socket. If you installed clamav from rpmforge, it works out of the box. There is nothing needed to be touched, remove that touched file! Check your clamd.conf that the correct socket gets used, check freshclam.conf that the correct clamd.conf is read and start clamd. There's nothing else to do. And if you don't need clamd, there's no need to install it or signal to it. So, tell it not to signal.
