What do you need shared mailboxes for? Perhaps you don't really need
user-shared mailboxes, but rather public mailboxes that are much easier
to support with system users? http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes

The user-shared mailboxes are meant to be shared by using IMAP SETACL
command. For example:

1 SETACL mailbox username +lr

Yes, because getting it to work with system users isn't that simple
because of all the extra problems related to filesystem permissions.
