I would have thought that running 2 bayesian filters would cause more trouble than good. The first filter would be ok as it would be trained like usual.
The second filter would probably have problems because it would only see a small subset of all your mail as the first filter would have removed most of the spam. The second filter's sample would therefore be skewed and it would have far less data to accurately classify spam.
Just my thoughts on the subject anyway...
