[Dovecot] dovecot and cloudfile systems

[jackie sparks]

I'm trying to store mailboxes in a cloudfile system and I am running into alot of problems using courier, between time skew, file locking and cache creation problems. I was wondering if dovecot has any problems using maildirs across a limited fuse file system. 
I cant lock files, 

This is accessed using the fuse library.
I thought taking out the standard checking for return values would be a work around because everything imap daemon is doing can be done from a shell by hand except filelocking and setting times on files.
I am doing this on Rack Spaces cloud files. This is something that not many if any are doing.
