Normally, Dovecot permission errors are more helpful than that. So, this
error message in itself is a bit of a bug:

https://github.com/dovecot/pigeonhole/commit/51e4ff296987781e1ce93cb1c0ccc14e863bf8d6

About the cause of this error: keep in mind that the whole directory
path needs read/execute permission, not only the leaf directory.

You could try a command other than LISTSCRIPTS in your manual debugging
efforts. That should take a different code path that provides a more
detailed error.

Stephan.
