dovecot - Jun 2013 - Bad exit status from dsync

I just tried to migrate one of my users from maildir to mdbox using
dsync. My conversion script is checking the dsync exit code to know if
the conversion goes fine or not, and surprisingly dsync returned "0"
at
the same time as it gave the error:

	Error: Failed to sync mailbox .ta\ vare\ p? ... 
	(sorry, lost the rest of the error message)

Changing the folder name to mUTF7 manually made it work, but I didn't
like that dsync returned success when it got this error. That breaks the
failsafe logic in my conversion script.

Dovecot version dovecot-ee-2.1.16.3-1, x86_64, RHEL5.
Dsync command used:

	dsync -v -u username at example.net mirror
maildir:/usr/local/atmail/users/u/s/username at example.net

With these dovecot.conf settings:

	mail_home = /srv/mailstore/%256LRHu/%Ld/%Ln
	mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox

It was a bit tricky to fix this. I added a kludge to v2.1 and a better
fix to v2.2:
