dovecot - Sep 2007 - Deliver setgid failed: Operation not permitted

Hi all, I'm having trouble getting a new Postfix/Dovecot server up and
running.

I'm trying to run v1.0.3, using MySQL tables setup list postfix admin.
This is a RHEL5 server.
Getting this error
tail /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-deliver.log
deliver(none at example.com): Sep 04 19:44:15 Fatal: setgid(12) failed:
Operation not permitted
That 12 being my vmail user.

I'm not exactly sure what's trying to setgid, nor how to fix it, any
ideas would be appreciated.

How do you deliver email with postfix ? I have:
mailbox_command = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver
And what user owns your directory where you store emails?
In my case it needs to be the user dovecot runs as.
