Update, I think I may have finally figured it out.  It would seem that the 
vmail user needed to have a valid home directory set.  I set it 
to /var/vmail.  Now I seem to just be having problems getting deliver to know 
where to deliver the messages:

May  5 12:00:50 sauerkraut deliver: Ambiguous mail location setting, don't 
know what to do with it: /var/mail/root (try prefixing it with mbox: or 
maildir:)
May  5 12:00:50 sauerkraut deliver: Failed to create storage for 
'leah at frauerpower.com' with mail '/var/mail/root'

I tried setting the following in dovecot.conf:

plugin {
  convert_mail = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u/mail
}

But that didn't seem to make a difference.  I also have:

default_mail_env = maildir:/var/vmail/domains/%d/%n/mail
