Sieve permissions issue following update

[David Gessel]

It has been running flawlessly for quite some time until the update.  

Global scripts were compiled:

/usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve # ls
10-move-spam.sieve      10-move-spam.svbin

However, I ran sievec again and tried saving a modified script and got the same:

shiofuki dovecot: lda(gessel at blackrosetech.com): Error: sieve: binary save: failed to create temporary file: open(/usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve/10-move-spam.svbin.shiofuki.blackrosetech.com.96421.) failed: Permission denied (euid=5000(vmail) egid=5000(vmail) missing +w perm: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve, we're not in group 6(mail), dir owned by 143:6 mode=0775)
Dec  9 11:30:39 shiofuki dovecot: lda(gessel at blackrosetech.com): Error: sieve: The LDA Sieve plugin does not have permission to save global Sieve script binaries; global Sieve scripts like `/usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve/10-move-spam.sieve' need to be pre-compiled using the sievec tool


I use Thomas Schmid's Sieve 0.2.3d add on to Thunderbird, if that might have any significance.

Compiling with sievec shouldn't change the permission error, which I still don't understand.
