I think you should follow the suggestion already provided:

 >>> You should chown dovecot /var/log/dovecot-*.log

The auth-master permission problem is different, but the configuration you 
provided does not give enough information to identify a certain solution. It 
does imply that you have not followed the relevant documentation for using 
the LDA:

http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA
http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix

You need to make sure that whatever user you are running *deliver* as (which 
is a function of your postfix config) has read/write access to the master 
socket, which has its user, group, and permissions set by the dovecot config.
