Doesn't lda(rolf) mean it is being executed under user "rolf", not root or dovecot? could be. However, following your mail I tried several alternatives for grouping, made the user itself part of mail group, made postfix and dovecot part of the users real group, made all part of roots real group, made the users part of postfix and dovecot real group ... I could have made failures in trying all this combinations but the failure remained in any case. (I switched all back for security reasons, the failure is still there.)
How exactly do you invoke lda from your /etc/postfix/master.cf?

if I switch procmail back on the input gets delivered and I can see them using roundcube as a client for dovecot.
You might also try to use LMTP via TCP to deliver mails from postfix to dovecot to work around any permission problems.
LMTP would be new to me and I fear just other hard-to-understand configuration topics. What I did as a workaround is to have a last rule in each .dovecot.sieve: fileinto "rest". It works and this way the INBOX is no longer needed.
I have installed dovecot and docecot-sieve by Debians aptitude
You don't seem to be the only one with these problems, see Debian BTS: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=626130
Do not understand how they have solved the problem. Changing 0660 to 0600 for the /var/mail/user mboxes (with user:mail for user:group) seems not to be a logical solution - have not tried that.
