Following on from this I have been unable to get the cmusieve plug-in
working...

Process:
- compile, make, make install dovecot-sieve from cvs
- cp "sievec" & "sieved" to /usr/libexec/dovecot/
- cp lib90_cmusieve_plugin.a, .la & .so to /usr/lib64/dovecot/
- cd /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda
- ln -s ../lib90_cmusieve_plugin.a .
- Added plug-in info to dovecot.conf:
protocol lda {
  mail_plugins = cmusieve
  mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda
}
- restarted dovecot

The trouble is that after adding a ".dovecot.sieve" file to a user home
directory neither a .dovecot.sievec or .dovecot.sieve.err file is
created and the sieve script doesn't work.

There doe not appear to be anything in the logs, how can I troubleshoot
this problem?
