[Dovecot] Problem with vpopmail auth

Hello,

I've install 1.021 and am having some problems getting vpopmail 
authentication to work correctly (running 0.99 in production, upgrading 
to 1.021).  I'm using vpopmail-5.4.16.  Here are the authentication 
debug statements in the log, my dovecot.conf changes from default, and 
the schema of my vpopmail database.  Any ideas / suggestions?  I've 
commented out all authentication except for vpopmail.  I took a look 
around the source but am not that familiar with the vpopmail api.

Thanks
