Mailbox sharing, user to user in same domain, OK! User to user sharing in separate domains, problem. ( ... and more oh boy!)

Ok, to answer my own mail, I realized I was reading some of the error
messages wrongly, it turns out that I was missing +x on a directory or
two in the path for one of my groups.
So I have made a bit of progress but currently stuck here.
doveadm(user-externaldomain.com): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACLs disabled
doveadm(user-externaldomain.com): Error:
fchown(/home/externaldomain.com/homes/user/Maildir/shared_ns1/info at primarydomain.com,
group=1092(primarydomain.com)) failed: Operation not permitted
(egid=1091(externaldomain.com), group based on
/home/primarydomain.com/homes/info/Maildir - see
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Errors/ChgrpNoPerm)
doveadm(user-externaldomain.com): Error: Mailbox
@/info at primarydomain.com/INBOX:
mkdir_parents(/home/externaldomain.com/homes/user/Maildir/shared_ns1/info at primarydomain.com/.INBOX)
failed: Operation not permitted
doveadm(user-externaldomain.com): Error: Can't open mailbox
@/info at primarydomain.eu/INBOX: Mailbox @/info at primarydomain.com/INBOX:
mkdir_parents(/home/externaldomain.com/homes/user/Maildir/shared_ns1/info at primarydomain.com/.INBOX)
failed: Operation not permitted
I did go through the http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Errors/ChgrpNoPerm page,
and followed the recommended changes to the /var/mail directory, but, it
did not seem to make a difference.
Anyhow, I have pretty much resigned myself that it will not be possible
to have shared mailboxes between domains on this system, at least with
the namespaces running under each individual domain. For some reason,
its bending my brain what is exactly needed.
