You're right... nothing written to log, but starting from shell...

G518X2:~/Library root# /usr/local/sbin/dovecot -F
Fsetregid(65534,6) failed with euid=0: Operation not permitted
Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89
Fatal: Invalid configuration in /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf

Here's the stanza from dovecot.conf

# Group to enable temporarily for privileged operations. Currently  
this is
# used only for creating mbox dotlock files when creation fails for  
INBOX.
# Typically this is set to "mail" to give access to /var/mail.
mail_privileged_group = mail
