Which version of Dovecot? I see these occasionally with Dovecot-1.0-stable. Are there other programs accessing the files (other than the MTA)? The errors are probably nothing to worry about. If you see them happening many times for the same folder, it may be worth deleting the index and cache files.
Timo has recently introduced fixes for mbox cache and indexes in Dovecot-1.0-test78 (he recommends deleting existing cache files).
Best Wishes, Chris
