Hi,
I've recently switched to LMTP as I'm now using mdbox. However since switching, mails sent to the root account do not get delivered due to the following error:
May 1 18:20:17 Server1 postfix/lmtp[13019]: CAEE91F851: to=root@test.com, relay=mail.test.com[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=1097, delays=1096/0.45/0.43/0.46, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (host mail.test.com[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 451 4.3.0 root@test.com Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. (in reply to RCPT TO command))
This obviously fills up my mail queue.
All other mails to all other mailboxes deliver fine.
I'm obviously missing something in my config... any ideas?
I'm using Dovecot 2.2.12 on NetBSD 5.2.2.
Many thanks,
-Mark

What about the Dovecot log? The error in the _Postfix_ log is pretty self-explanatory, have a look what Dovecot says.
userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { driver = passwd

Um, I was under the impression Dovecot logged to /var/log/maillog like Postfix. I'm not aware of any other log for Dovecot?
I also forgot to add the relevant command in my Postfix main.cf:
mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp

Obviously not, or you missed the detail in maillog. When the syslog line starts with _postfix_ it's postfix.
$ doveadm log find

Everything logs to /var/log/maillog.
The line I think I missed was:
May 1 19:31:50 Server1 dovecot: lmtp(13770): Error: user root: Invalid settings in userdb: userdb returned 0 as uid
Any idea what this means?

that you are working with unix-accounts and the root uid 0 is prohibited for (good) saftey reasons

If that has worked before then now is a good time to rewrite it to one of your IMAP users (best done on the Postfix end).

depends on your configuration
but even if - you need to read that since you only provided the postfix line which refers clearly to the dovecot log because postfix can't know anything more than the response of the destination which tells you where to look
