Never put sieve and sieve_dir inside your mail_location, especially when 
it is a Maildir.

So, this should solve it for you:

plugin:
   sieve_dir: /home/data/domains/%d/%n/sieve
   sieve: /home/data/domains/%d/%n/.dovecot.sieve

Also make sure you have a sensible home directory set (e.g. 
/home/data/domains/%d/%n), since some aspects of Sieve use that for 
storing state information.

Other options exist of course.

Stephan.
