[Dovecot] Public Folders

Hi All
I'm trying to implement public folders. My dovecot -n readout is at
the bottom. I created a maildir called resumes in /home/public

Its contents are:
mail# ls -la /home/public/resumes
total 6
drwx------  3 vmail  vmail  512 Oct 22 08:58 .
drwx------  4 vmail  vmail  512 Oct 22 08:47 ..
drwx------  5 vmail  vmail  512 Oct 22 08:58 Maildir
-rw-------  1 vmail  vmail    0 Oct 21 18:30 dovecot-acl-list

Then I created a directory called resumes in
/usr/local/etc/dovecot-acls and in it, I created the file dovecot-acl

I put the following entries in dovecot-acl
owner lrwstiekxa
user=user1 rwl

When I connect as user1 in thunderbird, right click on the inbox and
go subscribe, I see a greyed out public which I cannot subscribe to. I
do not see resumes. Any ideas on why this is?
