Looks like an ancient version, since the version info is not included
with doveconf -n output?

Always provide a link too... is this the wiki for version 1 (wiki1.) or
2 (wiki2.)?

You need to create and set a 'home' directory for each user for this
kind of things (even if they are virtual users, they need a 'home' dir)...
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation
Scroll down to where it discusses 'Homeless users'...
If you are still on version 1, the first thing you need to do is upgrade
to at least the latest 2.1, but I'd recommend just upgrading to the
latest 2.2 (currently 2.2.1)...
