[Dovecot] doveadm backup issue with ACL plugin enabled

Hi,

when trying to backup mailboxes I noticed some hiccups when the ACL plugin is enabled. It works fine with ACL disabled:

$ doveadm -o plugin/quota= backup -u tlx at leuxner.net mdbox:/home/backups/tlx/mdbox

However, enabled (and w/ a mailbox actually using ACLs) the following error occurs:

$ doveadm -o plugin/quota= backup -u tlx at leuxner.net mdbox:/home/backups/tlx/mdbox
dsync(tlx at leuxner.net): Error: Couldn't update mailbox <name> metadata: Permission denied

I tried to override the ACL plugin via '-o' to no avail, but I may be using the wrong syntax there.

Regards
Thomas
