Interesting: now it reports that it put the spam in its proper place:

Oct 11 11:02:27 mail dovecot: lda(bob at domain.com): sieve:
msgid=<6563.377.5164.515684 at Pickedit.us> : stored mail into mailbox
'INBOX.Spam'

And, it created INBOX.Spam:

drwxr-x---  5 virtual virtual    4096 Oct 11 11:02 .INBOX.Spam
drwxr-x---  5 virtual virtual    4096 Oct 11 01:52 .Spam

So, let's drop INBOX altogether

  fileinto :create "Spam";

and see what kind of mess we can come up with, right? =)
