[Dovecot] 2.1.7 altmove not working

Hi list,

I've just set up a 2.1.7 server, and have migrated a couple of accounts 
across from a 2.0.15 server, keeping the old configs. I have a strange 
problem on the new box in that altmove just doesn't work. I have my main 
storage under /home/email, indexes under /home/indexes and ALT under 
/home/email_archive.

When I run the altmove command, the following broken symlink is created 
in /home/email/integrafin.co.uk/acrow:

lrwxrwxrwx.  1 email email     54 Jun  8 10:46 dbox-alt-root -> 
/home/email_archive/integrafin.co.uk/a/acrow/mailboxes

But nothing is created in the archive other than the empty directory: 
/home/email_archive/integrafin.co.uk/a/acrow.

My mail_location is:

mail_location = 
mdbox:/home/email/%d/%n:INDEX=/home/indexes/%d/%1n/%n:ALT=/home/email_archive/%d/%1n/%n

This worked perfectly on the older server. I have attached my doveconf 
-a output.

Any help much appreciated.

Regards

Alex
