Let me give a bit more infor

Originaly i had it in /usr/local/etc and moved it to home/dovcot so i can give fulle access in a pah where there is not other info residing

So i'm thinking it is something i specified in my config file or a mistake i did during compiling

# ls -ld / /home /home/dovecot /home/dovecot/dovecot-pgsql.conf

Then check you get the same log error as before.
