dovecot - May 2008 - expire plugin - setgid failed

Hello all,

I'm trying to get the expire plugin working, but still having issues 
even with 1.1RC5.

If I run the expire tool I get the following error:
server:~# dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool
Fatal: setgid(100) failed with euid=2005, gid=0, egid=0: Operation not 
permitted

Same thing with --test:
server:~# dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool 
--test
Fatal: setgid(100) failed with euid=2005, gid=0, egid=0: Operation not 
permitted

gid 100 = users, uid 2005 = helmut

The user mail box has the following permissions:

root at LINKSTATION:/home/helmut# ll -n
drwx------   22 2005     100          4.0k May 17 13:14 mail

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Helmut
