Hello.

Sorry if I'm incorrect here, but before you get into scratching heads 
over something that might be subtle...

don't auth_userdb and auth_passdb need a "=" between the keyword and the 
arguments?

ie:
auth = plain
auth_userdb = passwd_file /path/to/passwd/file
auth_passdb = passwd_file /path/to/passwd/file
             ^ (missing that equal there)

It might be the parser trying to get to find an auth-type 
"/path/to/passwd/file" or something.
