Also re-ran Axel's test with a forward slash after the username, no better....

Although unlike my original config, With Axel's new user home,  Dovecot seems to be creating an extra directory
 /srv/mail/srv/mail/ops.example.com/test/


Messages are being delivered to the original path though /srv/mail/ops.example.com/test/new/
