Right, I didn't realize this initially though I believe you have told me
once before that rmdir is used for flushing:)

I'm sorry I wasn't more specific initially.
I guess I took it for some obvious bug (not realizing it's the clear cache
mechanism) that wasn't specific to my setup.

It's Maildir using NFS (both indexes and storage) under Solaris 10 (sparc).
I can post the full configuration if needed.

Cut from your other post:

Actually I am using a different directory;
home=/nfs/euro123.dk/mikkel, mail=/nfs/euro123.dk/mikkel/Maildir

And normally everything works as expected, except in this specific example
using sieve to forward.
The .dovecot.sieve file is located in the homedir
(/nfs/euro123.dk/mikkel/.dovecot.sieve) and for some reason dovecot then
tries to flush the directory in which the sieve file is located, instead
of the maildir directory.

Is this a bug or should I change the directory layout?
