You should probably add mode = 0666 like so:

service quota-warning {
   executable = script /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh
   unix_listener quota-warning {
     user = dovecot
     mode = 0666
   }
   user = dovecot
}

Indeed you can't use chmod from the command line because these sockets 
are created by dovecot when it starts up.
