[Dovecot] cannot use password-file for userdb

[Albert E. Whale]

OK, I am attempting to use the userdb connection to facilitate per user
migration to Maildir format from mbox.  Here's the first user:

more /home/dovecot.passwd
health:$1$MCtvt/Tz$FmKqU/cbWlBhKnhc5W.Ko.:1152:1152:/home/health:userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir

The configuration was set up as:

  userdb passwd {
   }

I changed this to:

  userdb passwd-file {
    args = /home/dovecot.conf
  }

And unfortunately the dovecot daemon dies after successfully launching.

Suggestions?
