:-) You probably didn't read for what this user is used:

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserIds

See Authentication process user

Do you run SELinux?

root@sv1 [~]# sudo -u dovecot cat /usr/dovecot-cfg/dom-home/ddd/etc/ddd/shadow <prints content of the file>

It seems that dovecot incorecly checks for group permissions not even trying to access file - probably cant handle that dovecot is part of more than 1 group. When its part of single group problem is not occuring.
