Did you've read http://wiki2.dovecot.org/ACL ? The entry in the
database is not the source of sharing information.

You have just copied the example into your config, haven't you? Do you
get error messages about not finding the mailbox? You should enabled
logging for testing: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Logging

In

the shared namespace you've configured Dovecot to look in the
sharing user's home directory for Maildir, but the default location
points to somewhere else, no Maildir at all. Where are the mailboxes
located?
IMHO, the correct location for most shared namespaces would be the
location of the user with %'s doubled and INDEXes per user.

E.g. if above default mail_location is correct:

location =
maildir:/home/vmail/%%d/%%n:INDEX=/home/vmail-indexes/%d/%n/shared/%%u:LAYOUT=fs

In a shared namespace %%u applies to the sharing user and %u to the
current user, therefore that config defines the same as the default
location, but with user-specific indexes, see
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/IndexFiles if you prefer user-specific vs.
mailbox-specific indexes.
