Actually the userdb was wrong, but now I am seeing the following:

Oct 26 17:26:54 ns6 dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=5142
Oct 26 17:26:54 ns6 dovecot: auth(default): client in:
AUTH^I1^IPLAIN^Iservice=pop3^Ilip=66.207.133.228^Irip=71.162.15.2^Ilport=110^Irport=4238^Iresp=<hidden>
Oct 26 17:26:54 ns6 dovecot: auth(default): client out: CONT^I1^I
Oct 26 17:26:54 ns6 dovecot: auth(default): client in: CONT<hidden>
Oct 26 17:26:54 ns6 dovecot: auth(default):
passwd-file(health,71.162.15.2): lookup: user=health
file=/home/dovecot.passwd

How do I get this to recognize the :userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir in the
dovecot.passwd file??
