dovecot - May 2005 - Transaction log file issue on dovecot-stable

Situation:
dovecot-stable-20050528 on x86, Linux 2.4.30, ext3, maildir

I'm trying to use the imapsync utility
(http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync/) to copy 1500 messages from a UW-imap
server to dovecot.

After about 100 messages are successfully appended, I'm seeing this in the
server log, following which all APPENDs fail.

May 28 09:01:06 [dovecot] IMAP(allen):
utime(/home/allen/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist.lock) failed: No such file or
directory
May 28 09:01:06 [dovecot] IMAP(allen): Our dotlock file
/home/allen/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist.lock was deleted
