You have to experiment a bit. As far as I remember, there had been bug 
reports in some versions that maybe a mixture of "/" and the configured 
separator must be used, e.g.

prefix = shared.
separator = .

try:
- -m shared.sub1.sub2.sub3
- -m shared.sub1/sub2/sub3
- -m shared/sub1/sub2/sub3

When I used Dovecot LDA, the first variant worked.
