So I do have permission to open the directory but dovecot doesn't agree (Is this a sign I should just give up on 1.0.7? :-)
Yes... 1.1 is much better, but 1.2 is getting very close and is even better still...
Personally, I'd just move on to 1.2...
I upgraded to 1.1.7 and still get the same error tho with a lot more log output:

Dovecot still insists I don't have permission to open the directory.
As an ordinary IMAP server Dovecot performs very well. It is only public/shared folders that are causing a problem. Unfortunately that is exactly what the boss wants now.
