Following up my earlier mail, perhaps I am being obtuse
here; I've changed the permissions of auth-userdb to 666, although I
have no idea what these files in /var/run/dovecot are. These appears to
solve the problem above.

Renabling dovecot lda in Postfix, I try
sending myself a message; however it gets bounced: "user unknown"
(/var/log/maillog):

 If I comment
out this line in main.cf, and restart Postfix, things work again:

#
virtual_transport = dovecot

Any ideas on what is going wrong here? I
feel I am almost there.
