Do you have btree support installed for postfix ? As I recall, the 
smtp(d)_session_cache_database parameters are in the default main.cf 
file but btree support is _not_ installed by default.
If you're not using these 2 parameters I suggest you comment them out 
and reload postfix.
Also I assume you got postfix-policyd on 127.0.0.1:60000 ? it is fully 
operational right ?
