Oh, right, wrong place. If you make it go through proxy, it doesn't do any expansion. It's then accessed by the "dict" process (which probably runs as "dovecot" user).

You could instead use something like:

 metadata_dict = file:%h/Maildir/shared-metadata

I haven't really looked at what the metadata plugin actually does..
