I'd expect to see more errors and debug messages preceding the log line
above.
Looking at your config, I suspect your problem has something to do with
the fact that you provide no 'home' directory for your users. The
default location of the active sieve script (as configured with sieve=)
is ~/.dovecot.sieve. You don't override this, so this is what you are
now using. Since no home directory is defined, ~/ cannot be substituted,
causing this failure (there must be an error about this in your logs
somewhere). You can do something analogous to your sieve_dir setting and
use % variable substitution in your sieve= setting. Still, having no
home directory for your users is a bad idea. Read the wiki for more
information:

Also read this carefully:
