Surely we need to delete everything in 'new' and 'cur'? :

rm -f /path/to/Maildir/.spam-learn/new/* /path/to/Maildir/.spam-learn/cur/*

Or perhaps, a bit more pipey and less risk of blowing up whilst globbing 
in the shell:

maildir=/path/to/Maildir/.spam-learn find $maildir/new $maildir/cur 
-mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -r rm -f
