[Dovecot] Odd Error: Expecting '='

[Patrick Rutkowski]

Hi all,

I'm working on setting up dovecot on a test system. When I try to  
start dovecot I get this error:

Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line  
504: Expecting '='

Line 504 in my config is this:

auth default  {
     passdb sql {
         args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf
     }
     userdb sql {
         args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf
     }
}

I don't see how that can be wrong because the dovecot docs mention  
exactly such a structure and I used the same syntax: http:// 
wiki.dovecot.org/BasicConfiguration

Any clues would be much appreciated,
Patrick

P.S. My entire config can be found here: http://www.rutski89.com:
