dovecot - Oct 2007 - Dovecot 1.1b2: Enet_connect_unix(/usr/local/dovecot-1.1/var/run/dovecot/dict-server) failed: Permission denied

On startup of dovecot 1.1b2 I seem to have some permission trouble.

Dovecot was configured with --prefix=/usr/local/dovecot-1.1 for testing
purposes while dovecot 1.0.2 is in production.

# cd /usr/local/dovecot-1.1/sbin/

# ./dovecot -F -c ../etc/dovecot.conf
Enet_connect_unix(/usr/local/dovecot-1.1/var/run/dovecot/dict-server)
failed: Permission denied

# ls -la /usr/local/dovecot-1.1/var/run/dovecot/dict-server
srwxrwxrwx  1 root root 0 Oct  2 12:18
/usr/local/dovecot-1.1/var/run/dovecot/dict-server

# tail -f /var/log/maillog.err
Oct  2 12:23:25 kelly-a dovecot: auth(default):
net_connect_unix(/usr/local/dovecot-1.1/var/run/dovecot/auth-worker.12891)
failed: Permission denied
Oct  2 12:23:25 kelly-a dovecot: Auth process died too early - shutting down
Oct  2 12:23:25 kelly-a dovecot: child 12891 (auth) returned error 89


Changing base_dir and setting the path in the plugin params doesn't seem
to make a difference either.

Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks,

David

vmail user needs to have +x access to all directories in this path.
