I've tried this again with rc10 but the same problems exist. 

Specifically our problems are:
1) dovecot-acl file within public namespace directory isn't found
2) global ACLs (vfile) partially work with virtual users but when used:
        a) non-ACL restricted public namespace directories stop working
        b) permitted users are unable to view or create sub-folders

See: http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2006-August/015058.html and
rest of thread for more details.
