No, I commended global_script_path = so it was not used. 
According to your earlier email it should be enough to use sieve_global_dir
and put .dovecot.sieve file with my rules in that directory.
This is is also what the example on http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve says.
There is only sieve_global_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve/ there.
And what I said was that did not work.
Do you mean I should use both  global_script_path and sieve_global_dir?

In this case things should work fine when defining 
sieve_global_dir = /usr/local/etc/sieve/Something
but they don't. 
Or must this be sieve_global_dir = /usr/local/etc/sieve/.dovecot-sieve ?

AFAIR you can include other scripts in your script and they will be then used 
by sieve. So it would actually make more sense to have a file called Main and 
then include Junk and other scripts in it.

This is misleading. Wouldn't hurt to mention .dovecot-sieve there.
