I did a 'find / -name "automake*"' and it appears that the system is
using automake 1.6.3.

same with autoconf ... 2.57

I tried changing the fstab entry to be /dev/sdb1 and rebooting to see if
this had any impact, and it didn't.

i double checked file permissions on this, and everything looks ok.

/home/<user>/Maildir/subscriptions and
/home/<user>/Maildir/dovecot-keywords both have the following permissions:

- -rw------- <user> <group>

which coincides with the permissions on the .subscriptions and
.customflags files
