I just had a problem similar to this. I turned on all the debug
(logging) in dovecot and discovered that I had to the default 0600
permissions on auth-client and auth-master, as shown below. After
restarting dovecot, all went well.

srw-rw-rw-   1 root  wheel       0B Oct  4 15:43 auth-client=
srw-rw-rw-   1 root  wheel       0B Oct  4 15:43 auth-master=

This is on a FreeBSD-7.2 system.
