Hi,
Client is able to authenticate to the dovecot server using cram-md5 password, and I can see the file being created by dovecot server under /var/spool/mail/ghhdomain.com/info/Inbox, having said it is 0 byte file and no mails are found
any help is appreciated..

See: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile the syntax is: user:password:uid:gid:(gecos):home:(shell):extra_fields so your user file is wrong. But this error would come later.
The config shows that you have not configured no passdb. Re-check that you've included the appropriate auth*ext files, e.g. the auth-passwdfile.conf.ext.

Please see my configs
don't grab selected output from the conf files, use doveconf -n
info@ghhdomain.com: {CRAM-MD5}e02d374fde0dc75a17a557039a3a5338c7743304777dccd376f332bee68d 2cf6:503:503
Do you have a line with "/var/spool/mail/ghhdomain/info/" in /etc/dovecot/users ? Post that line and, say, three lines before and
users file look like this three after it.
