What do you mean "differently" about my root?
Dovecot is in group called "mail" like sendmail etc. This group has full
permissions to mail directory.

What version are you running?

I had a similar problem on Solaris but it was fixed around test52.   If 
your root user is set up a bit differently, or your dovecot user is in 
the wrong group, can cause this too.
