If Sieve's redirect is working, but vacation is not; I suspect, Dovecot 
Deliver can invoke sendmail to send mails. This was my problem some time 
ago.

With v1.1 there should be no problem with the missing Return-Path header, 
as well.

There was a post some time ago, which leads to think that there can be 
problems with UTF8 encodings. Did you tested vacation with a clean 7bit 
mail and vacation message? Also, did you stripped down the vacation 
directive to its minimum?

Did you already invoked deliver from command line? Sometimes there are 
hints:

Craft a valid message, then
su systemuser -c 'limit -c unlimited ; dovecot-deliver -f sender -d user < msg'

If there is a problem sending the mail, it might be useful to know what 
deliver calls, e.g. run a kernel API trace, e.g. "strace" in Linux.

Bye,
