No one will answer, so I will provide my own answer for posterity.
The -s flag does not accept a file, but a string. So a correct for loop would be the following :
for user in $userlist ; do
state=$(cat "/Users/_dovecot/.bin/syncStates/syncstate$user" )
doveadm sync -u $user -s $state tcp:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx > "/Users/_dovecot/.bin/syncStates/syncstate$user"
done
Hope it helps someone.
