This client socket is used by Postfix for 'SMTP-AUth'. Deliver,
Dovecot's LDA, prefers the Unix-domain socket from the auth-master.
(e.g. http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL)

But the error message in the original mail mentions the socket at
/var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot, and this is not the configured one.

Per is using Unbuntu Linux, (see `dovecot -n` output in the first mail.)
Per, maybe you've got a funny called file:
/etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf. If so, edit this file, as mentioned
in your /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
