And you have "separator = ." ? I am afraid that this can't work, because if e-mail client requests folder e.g. "shared.name at example.com.some.folder" Dovecot is not able to guess where the username ends and where starts folder name. But if separator is "/" and the client requests "shared/name at example.com/some/folder" it is no problem to extract username from it and look it up in the database.

(setting ACLs also worked on my server, but users were not able to see shared mailboxes of other users)
