[Dovecot] Problem using LDAP generating Userhome

I also think so, we "solved" the problem by putting the complete 
homepath in LDAP.

That doesn't seem to work.

Dec 11 10:43:59  dovecot: Fatal: userdb didn't return a home directory, 
but mail location used it (%h): %h/:INDEX=/mail/index/%Lu/

The problem seems to be, that dovecot replaces values "on the fly" while 
retrieving from ldap.
Not in the order it is mentioned in config file.
