[Dovecot] Dovecot auto vacation with sieve doesn't work

Guys, I'm running out of hair to pull out ;).

Can anyone out there say that this does work??  To me this is looking
like a bug and I'm not sure whether it's the sieve plugin or the dovecot
deliver program.  I have also had no luck the the "reject" sending any
reply back to the sender.

My setup:
OS: Solaris 10 sparc platform
postfix: 2.5.2
dovecot: 1.1.2
sieve plugin: 1.1.5

I'm going back forth between procmail and sieve and having no luck. 
procmail will send the reply to the sender but doesn't deliver the
message to the recipient.  Sieve will deliver the message to the
recipient but doesn't send the reply to the sender.  Now if I can just
combine the two, I'll be in business.

Postfix mail command:

mailbox_command = /userM/mail-services/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver
-d $USER*
*
Dovecot -n (I've made some changes from my previous posting namely with
the master_auth settings)

My .dovecot.sieve file:

require ["vacation"];
   if header :matches "subject" "*" {
       vacation
       :days 30
       :addresses "cj.keist at colostate.edu"
       :subject "Automatic response to: ${1}"
                "I'm away -- send mail to foo in my absence";
   }

I made some modifications to the vacation reply base on the following URL:

http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/draft-ietf-sieve-vacation/

In my testing I know the sieve plugin is reading my .dovecot.sieve
script and creating the .dovecot.sievec, but that is as for as it goes. 
The .dovecot.lda-dupes file is not being created (or any
.dovecot.sieve.err file) and no reply is even being attempted from the logs:
