Doh, it says on the line I quoted earlier from master.cf:
dovecot   unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
     flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f 
${sender} -a ${recipient} -d ${user}@${nexthop} -m PreINBOX

It runs under vmail:vmail. There should be no problem creating a new 
mailbox.

Is there a way to understand what's really going on with dovecot?
