[dovecot] Failed to create storage with data: ::

[Jesse Peterson]

# dovecot.conf:
protocols = imaps
login = imap
login_user = mail
default_mail_env = maildir:%h/
auth = default
auth_mechanisms = plain
auth_userdb = passwd-file /tmp/imap.passwd
auth_passdb = passwd-file /tmp/imap.passwd
auth_user = mail
auth_verbose = yes

In the log files I get:
   Mar 15 23:36:30 pos dovecot: Dovecot starting up
   Mar 15 23:36:37 pos imap-login: Login: testuser [10.0.66.1]
   Mar 15 23:36:37 pos imap(testuser): Failed to create storage with 
data: ::
   Mar 15 23:36:37 pos dovecot: child 23150 (imap) returned error 89


A typical entry in the imap.passwd:
   testuser:<md5>[34]:12345:12345::/some/home/directory/testuser:0::
