dovecot - Jul 2006 - dovecot-lda, sieve, maildir

I'm unable to get dovecot-lda with sieve filtering to deliver into
maildir folders.  The examples on the wiki explicitly say "mbox", so
I'm wondering, does the dovecot-lda sieve implementation not support
filtering into maildir folders?

Maildirs work fine, example:

require "fileinto";

# SPAM
if header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :is "X-DSPAM-Result"
"Spam"  {
    fileinto "SPAM";
    stop;
}

# Subfolder
if address :all :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :contains
"From"
"someone at example.com"  {
    fileinto "INBOX.Somefolder";
    stop;
}

hmm, not for me.  Here's the entirety of my .dovecot.sieve:

require ["fileinto", "vacation"];

# test
if address :is "from" "user at list.org" {
  fileinto "fcusack/inbox";
}


If I start from scratch and create ~/Mail, I can send a test message
which gets filed correctly (new subdir fcusack is created with new
mbox file inbox).

If I start from scratch and create ~/Maildir, the same message is created
in ~/Maildir/new.  Even if I create ~/Maildir/.fcusack.inbox the message
is not filed there.

Any ideas what might be wrong?
