This means that you start deliver as vmail:vmail (which I guess is
intended), but userdb lookup says that this user should have GID
paranoidandroid. So deliver tries to change the proces's GID, but
isn't allowed to because it's not running as root.

userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot_sql_userdb.conf

What do you have in user_query? Is it intended that different users
have different gids (and maybe uids)?
