Is your MTA storing messages using the Dovecot LDA 
(http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA) ? Check that thoroughly. Enable 
mail_debug to get more verbose logs. To definitively check whether Sieve 
is working or not, you can invoke dovecot-lda manually. If it works 
then, the problem most likely lies with your MTA.

At my end, the logs look as follows (manual invocation, mail_debug=yes):
