[Dovecot] Unable to get Managesieve working

I have Roundcube webmail (v. 0.8.2) running with the managesieve plugin 
(v. 5.1).  I am able to create sieve rules without any problems in 
Roundcube, but incoming mail is not being processed with the rule I 
specify.  I suspect there is something that isn't configured correctly 
in dovecot, but unfortunately I am unable to find a resolution online 
and my very limited knowledge of dovecot isn't allowing me to solve this 
problem on my own.  I am including my dovecot config below.  Please keep 
my knowledge level in mind when suggesting options and let me know if 
there is any other information I can provide to help troubleshoot the 
problem.  Thanks for any assistance!
