[Dovecot] problems with cvs version and vpopmail

Hi, I have tried compiling the latest cvs version of dovecot on my FreeBSD
5.2.1-release box with the ports version of vpopmail: 5.4.3_1.

In the configuration file I have two auth paragraphs, one for passwd
authentication and one for vpopmail-auth:

auth vpopmail {
  mechanisms = plain
  userdb = vpopmail
  passdb = vpopmail
  user = vpopmail
}

But the vpopmail dosn'nt work. I got the folowing in the log:

Info: auth(vpopmail): vpopmail(stoffer at test.ek.dk): unknown user
(stoffer at test.ek.dk)

When I ktrace the dovecot process, it seams that it is trying to access
the mysql db, but it ignores the settings in ~vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql

If I use the ports version of dovecot it works, but of course without
the multiple auth capability since it is version 0.99...

Any hints on debugging?
