Yeah I'm having deja vu. I thought I read in the lists you stating utime 
shouldn't fail. I couldn't/can't find that post. Regardless, I'm not using 
SELinux, not running any script or cron job running against these directories 
and just using plain ole ext3. I've been running this setup, Postfix->Deliver 
and Dovecot for many many moons now. It wasn't until this last upgrade from 
1.0.0 -> 1.0.1 did I start seeing any errors/warning and this error/warning 
is so arbitrary. The only thing consistent is /tmp and the COMPANY namespace.

Can I try deleting indexes or something? Just throwing stuff out there. If 
utime() doesn't fail normally, what abnormality causes it to fail?
