Dovecot can subscribe to all mailboxes that it sees. So you should be
less concerned about subscriptions and more concerned about LIST command
seeing the mailbox. When testing try using the LIST "" * command to see
what mailboxes exist, http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestInstallation has some
more information.

With this configuration the subscriptions for the public group/ are
shared by all users. You probably rather want subscriptions=no for that
namespace to get per-user subscriptions.

So you're using system users, i.e. each user using different UIDs? That
can easily cause all kinds of problems. See
