I think your parenthesis are not right.  You want:

 ((spam-autodetect-methods spam-use-blacklist spam-use-BBDB)
  (spam-process-destination . "nnml:train")
  (spam-autodetect . t))

Better yet, use `G c' the first time you customize the parameters to
be sure they are correct.

Looks OK, but there's no destination for the spam (see above), so
spam-use-move does nothing.  When you fix the parameters you'll
probably have better luck with autodetection and exit processing.

Good luck
