My suggestions:
    * show "a very un-informative error message from each"
    * paste dovecot -n output
    * play the game again - using telnet, e.g.:
	4 LIST "" *
	* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX"
	4 OK List completed.
	5 CREATE INBOX/sub
	5 OK Create completed.
	6 CREATE INBOX/sub/subsub
	6 OK Create completed.
	7 LIST "" *
	* LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "INBOX"
	* LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "INBOX/sub"
	* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX/sub/subsub"
	7 OK List completed.
	8 DELETE INBOX/sub/subsub
	8 OK Delete completed.
	9 DELETE INBOX/sub
	9 OK Delete completed.
	10 LIST "" *
	* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX"
	10 OK List completed.
