IMHO the error message is very descriptive: "Permission denied" :)

IMHO Postfix executes deliver with system user privilegues, hence, "postfix" is not correct. The permission must allow all your system users to connect to this socket.
This client socket is used by Postfix for 'SMTP-AUth'. Deliver, Dovecot's LDA, prefers the Unix-domain socket from the auth-master. (e.g. http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL)
But the error message in the original mail mentions the socket at /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot, and this is not the configured one.
Per is using Unbuntu Linux, (see dovecot -n output in the first mail.)
Per, maybe you've got a funny called file:
/etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf. If so, edit this file, as mentioned
in your /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
