Yeah, that's probably the reason it's not working. Dovecot needs to  
figure out user's userdb configuration but you've only configured  
userdb prefetch. You'd need to configure another userdb after the  
prefetch that allows Dovecot to do userdb lookups (without first  
authenticating, it doesn't know the users' passwords).

Looks like you're trying to use userdb prefetch as if it were userdb  
static. Those "args" in prefetch are ignored completely. If all your  
users use those uid/gid/home, perhaps you should be using userdb  
static instead of prefetch?
