Does ssh login succeed when you run from kmail?  You should have
something in auth.log or whatever the equivalent is on your
system.

Try verbose flag and pipe output to a file?

ssh -vv remote sa-learn --spam < spam_file > /tmp/kmail.spamd.out 2>&1

I would guess HOMEDIR is off so SSH can't find the key.  Either
that, or kmail is running as a different user?  Try firing a
simple env command from kmail to see what environment you get and
how it compares the environment where the command works.
