[Dovecot] Dovecot mail_location creating duplicate mbox mail directories

Hi all,
I'm using dovecot v2.0.11 on fedora14 with postfix. This system was
migrated from an old UW mbox system, so users already have
~/mail/INBOX.* files. Now for some reason, dovecot is creating
~/mail/mail/INBOX.* files and somehow not seeing the mail_location
properly.
I've set mail_location to "mail_location =
mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u", which has worked on a similar
system I migrated, but I can't understand why it would try and create
a "mail" subdiretory under the ~/mail directory. Even if I set
mail_location to just mbox:~ instead, it doesn't create the
.subscriptions file properly, and still creates them with
"mail/INBOX.Trash" for example.
Below is my doveconf. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Is there a way to
have doveconf only print those values that differ from the defaults?
# 2.0.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.35.13-91.fc14.x86_64 x86_64 Fedora release 14 (Laughlin)
