maybe you just forgot to run the ant-spam-wizzard where you specify to move 
caught spam to your spam folder ?
note that any action done to spam is performed by kmail, not bogofilter (which 
just marks the mails) so you have to tell kmail what to do with recognized 
spam.

this is not necessary, having that file growing by hitting the spam button 
means bogofilter is already 'learning'

here, kmail has a menu item called 'show filter protocol' under 'extras',
there you can first enable the protocol and then look at that to see what the 
filter action actually does.
might be named different, though (I translated the menu entries from german,
didn't switch kmail language to english).
