No hint in the logfile? Maybe a permission problem or Dovecot can't
find any emails? If nothing is logged maybe it helps when you set
"mail_debug=yes" in dovecot.conf?

Btw: it seems that in the upcoming Dovecot 2.0 version there's no
convert plugin available anymore - with 2.0 you can use "dsync" to
convert emails between different mailbox formats.
