/usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve is not the user's sieve_dir; see
<http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Configuration>.

The GLOBAL sieve scripts (see your error message above) is manged by the
system administrator. Adnmins are using their favorite $EDITOR, the
chmod(1) and chown(1) commands. They don't need a ManageSieve client.
