[Dovecot] what's wrong with this config file?

Hi. I'm setting up a new IMAPS server. Mail users don't have login access to the box but will each have unique UNIX-style UIDs: no back-end database or LDAP thing. So far. Their mail will get delivered to UNIX-style mailboxes in /var/mail/%u (where %u is the UNIX username obviously). Their IMAP folders will go in /var/imap/%u. These will contain subfolders once everyone migrates to the new set-up and some folders will contain messages and subfolders.
I think this is what I configured in dovecot. However when I try to set up a test account, dovecot reports the following error:
Dec 12 02:22:00 shaun dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<jim>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=10.0.0.1, lip=10.1.1.1, mpid=14874, TLS, session=<8Hy1Ak3t+gDDNulD>
Dec 12 02:22:00 shaun dovecot: imap(jim): Error: user jim: Initialization failed: namespace configuration error: Duplicate namespace prefix: ""
Dec 12 02:22:00 shaun dovecot: imap(jim): Error: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information.
I've checked and re-checked the wiki. google was unable to suggest any explanation either. Any ideas what's wrong? There is no duplicate namespace (and/or prefix) that I can see below.
