[Dovecot] Managesieve configuration problem

Hello!

I'm trying for a lot of time to make managesieve working with dovecot 1.1.17 and virtual users on openSuSE 11.1. I think I'm doing some misconfiguration, but I can't figure it out. Perhaps it's something with the paths to the sieve scripts?

In dovecot.conf I find in the comments:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
protocol managesieve {
#(...)
  # Specifies the location of the symlink pointing to the active script in
  # the sieve storage directory. This must match the SIEVE setting used by
  # deliver (refer to http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve#location for more
  # info). Variable substitution with % is recognized.
  # Take care: if a file in a maildir: begins with a '.', it is recognized
  # as a folder; so, avoid this.
  #sieve=~/.dovecot.sieve
  sieve = /drbd/mail/vmail/%d/%n/dovecot.sieve
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"This must match the SIEVE setting used by deliver", so I have to take a look to LDA section, no?
But there I don't find any hint for sieve settings:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
protocol lda {
  # Address to use when sending rejection mails.
  postmaster_address = postmaster at mydomain.tld

  # 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_plugins = cmusieve quota
  mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/lda

  # If user is over quota, return with temporary failure instead of
  # bouncing the mail.
  #quota_full_tempfail = no

  # Format to use for logging mail deliveries. You can use variables:
  #  %$ - Delivery status message (e.g. "saved to INBOX")
  #  %m - Message-ID
  #  %s - Subject
  #  %f - From address
  #deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$

  # Binary to use for sending mails.
  sendmail_path = /usr/lib/sendmail

  # Human readable error message for rejection mails. Use can use variables:
  #  %n = CRLF, %r = reason, %s = subject, %t = recipient
  rejection_reason = Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r

  # UNIX socket path to master authentication server to find users.
#  auth_socket_path = /drbd/mail/var/run/dovecot/auth-master
  auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master

}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I tried to log in to managesieve manually with gnutls-cli, and that was successfull. I was able to authenticate.
But when I try to put the example script from dovecot wiki (http://wiki.dovecot.org/ManageSieve/Troubleshooting)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PUTSCRIPT "hutsefluts" {6+}
keep;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I get no 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OK "Putscript completed."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

there happens nothing, managesieve seems to wait for something else.

When I look now into the directory where the script should be stored (the folder has been created automatically) I don't find any script file but a folder "tmp" that contains a plaintext file with the script commands inside, eg. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
hutsefluts-12345678.M033562P2271.imap.sieve
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After disconnecting, this file disappears.


In the dovecot.info log it looks like this:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

../vmail/mydomain.tld/test/dovecot.sieve is missing completely.


Perhaps you can give me a small hint?



And here is my "dovecot -n":

By the way, I'm quite amazed how fast dovecot is developed at the moment, and it makes lots of fun to see it growing!!

kind regards,
