Now it strikes me that this message indicates that Dovecot is confused about how mail is delivered on my system and is looking for a Maildir implementation when I"m using single files.
No, it's looking for a directory containing mbox files. See the wiki URL and "Only /var/mail/ mboxes" section in it.
