Apparent Maildir permission issue

I've just upgraded from Slackware 14.1 to 14.2. I've not done anything with dovecot -- it's the
same version that was running before the upgrade. However, now I'm getting a permission error:

/var/log/maillog:

Permission on that folder are:

$ ls -ld /home/HPRS/mark/Maildir
drwx------ 17 HPRS\mark domusers 4096 Dec  7 23:07 /home/HPRS/mark/Maildir/

Permissions are unchanged since before the backup.

What do I do to fix this?
