Linux Mint Debian - Program will not start.

I have installed the program on Centos 6 & 7 with success and it starts and runs properly.  However with Linux Mint Debian (LMDE) the manual scans work but the on-access scanner will not start:

1) Message after the install:

Installation completed.
Unable to start savd
On-access scanning not available because it was not possible to start Sophos Anti-Virus.

2) /opt/sophos-av/bin/savdstatus

Sophos Anti-Virus is inactive

3) /opt/sophos-av/bin/savdctl enable

Failed to enable on-access scanning.

4) /etc/init.d/sav-protect start

Failed to get D-Bus connection: Unknown error -1

5) service sav-protect start

Failed to get D-Bus connection: Unknown error -1

I see this message in the logs:

NOTE: You are running Sophos Anti-Virus on a kernel for which Sophos does not provide binary kernel modules. Therefore the kernel modules have been locally compiled. Please see KBA14377 for supported platforms and kernels.

So, I gather that the kernel and/or OS are not compatible?  If so, any plans for support them in the future?

This is the kernel that is running:

Linux version 3.16.0-4-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 4.8.4 (Debian 4.8.4-1) ) #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt9-3~deb8u1 (2015-04-24)

And the Linux OS is:

Linux Mint Debian Version 2 (LMDE 2 Betsy)

Any help would be appreciated.
