It seems that Dovecot wants to save it as something specific with a different name. Even running sievec manually does not make it work.
It tries to save the compiled binary in the same directory as the script. This requires write access. The error you see is the attempt to create the initial temporary file to which the compiled binary is written. Subsequently, this would be renamed to /etc/dovecot/dovecot-global-sieve.svbin, overwriting any previous binary. To prevent this error, you will need to execute sievec with admin privileges to compile these scripts:
