dovecot - Sep 2010 - Setting hierarchy separator

I am trying to convert my maildir mail store to dbox using dsync (using
"dsync -u username convert dbox:/mailstore2/dbox").?
?
I get the following error message:
?
dsync(root): Fatal: Mail locations must use the same virtual mailbox hierarchy
separator (specify separator for the default namespace).
?
My problem is that I do not know how to set separator in 10-mail.conf.? I would
appreciate any pointers.?
?
Here is the output from dovecot -n:
?
# 2.0.3: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

}

??? port = 143
? }
? service_count = 0
? vsz_limit = 67108864
}

userdb {

}

Thanks,

namespace {
  separator = /
  inbox = yes
}

Thanks, Timo.? It worked fine after I added the lines you have below to my
10-mail.conf.
