[Dovecot] problems with sieve and lda

[Harondel J. Sibble]

Okay, after reading the wiki and list archives, I am confused.

I am attemping to get the deliver LDA working on a centos 5.1 system

# rpm -qa | grep dovecot
dovecot-1.0.7-2.el5
dovecot-sieve-1.0.2-6.el5
# rpm -qa | grep postfix
postfix-2.3.3-2

so that I can use Sieve for mail filtering to imap folders, I am using the 
mbox format

Following the wiki here for system users

http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix

I never get any info in the logs about cmusieve, the only way I see anything 
show up is if I add the transport settings to postfix/master.cf or see below

>From reading the list archives, as best as I can tell, the only time I need 
to make the changes in postfix's master.cf is if I am using a virtual 
environment, otherwise for local delivery, all I need is the mailbox_command 
setting in postfix/main.cf

However with that setting, I get nothing! If I then run deliver from the 
command line as per a couple of mailling postings,

cat /etc/hosts | /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d localaccount at mydomain.com -f 
mygmailaccount at gmail.com

I get 

deliver(localaccount at mydomail.com): Aug 10 22:07:17 Info: Loading modules

deliver(localaccount at mydomail.com): Aug 10 22:07:17 Info: Module loaded:

Config stuff (dovecot -n)

postfix/main.cf has

mailbox_commmand = /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver

A .dovecot.sieve file with the following contents for testing purposes is 
located at ~/mail

require "fileinto";
if header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :contains "Subject" "**SPAM**"  {
        fileinto "Trash";
        stop;
}


The LDA section from the dovecot.conf file

    protocol lda {
      # Address to use when sending rejection mails.
      # postmaster_address = 
      # Hostname to use in various parts of sent mails, eg. in Message-Id.
      # Default is the system's real hostname.
      #hostname =
      # Support for dynamically loadable plugins. mail_plugins is a space 
    separated
      # list of plugins to load.
      mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/lda
      mail_plugins = cmusieve
      # Binary to use for sending mails.
      #sendmail_path = /usr/lib/sendmail
      # UNIX socket path to master authentication server to find users.
      #auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master

      log_path = /var/log/dovecot/deliverlog
      info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/deliverlog
      debug = yes
    }

What am I missing here to getting this working
