You misunderstood...

I didn't say the filesystem permissions were wrong.

Your SQL SERVER is refusing the connection.

The user (vmail) you are using to connect to the SQL server doesn't have 
permission to talk to it.

This needs to be fixed IN THE SQL SERVER ACCESS PERMISSIONS for the 
'vmail' user.
