That postfix/virtual entry means you haven't changed postfix's standard 
configuration.  Postfix's "virtual" delivery agent is being used - not 
dovecot's "deliver" or "dovecot-lda".  Which means whatever paths you 
are defining for delivery in dovecot configuration files are unknown to 
Postfix.  You need to configure Postfix properly.

You were previously referred to http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix - 
you need to read that and follow the instructions.
