[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.beta3 Configuration issue (I think)

I have been running dovecot 1.2.10 without problems. I am trying to
install 2.0.beta3. I have I think translated all my configuration
customizations correctly, but I have problems.

I can start dovecot, but I can't login, at least not with SSL.

Here's my dovecot -n

# 2.0.beta3: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 i686 CentOS release 5 (Final)
auth_mechanisms = plain apop login
auth_worker_max_count = 5
mail_location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u
mail_privileged_group = mail
mbox_write_locks = fcntl dotlock
passdb {
  args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot.passwd
  deny = no
  driver = passwd-file
  master = no
  pass = no
}
passdb {
  deny = no
  driver = pam
  master = no
  pass = no
}
ssl_cert = /etc/postfix/sbh16-cert.pem
ssl_key = /etc/postfix/sbh16-key.pem
userdb {
  driver = passwd
}


Note the files /etc/postfix/sbh16-cert.pem and
/etc/postfix/sbh16-key.pem exist and are the same files I use with
dovecot 1.2.

Dovecot starts OK, but when I try to connect with a pop3 or imap
client, the connection is established, but no response is sent to the
client.

Here are the dovecot entries from the maillog from startup through the
failed pop3 and imap logins.

I suspect I've overlooked something in the config or I have something
wrong, but I don't know what.
