dovecot - Oct 2010 - dsync, separator, but really - Default Namespace

Just made the leap from 1.2 to 2.0.6 - and several maddening config 
typos I think I have a working system again!  Getting closer to 
converting from maildir to mdbox, but first...

Trying to use dsync gives me:
dsync(root): Fatal: Mail locations must use the same virtual mailbox 
hierarchy separator (specify separator for the default namespace)

Ok - I 've never configured namespaces before...time to learn.  So my 
first attempt - is the following config the same as having no explicit 
namespace declaration?:

# My Default Namespace
namespace {
   type = private
   separator = '.'
   prefix =.
   location = /var/mail/%d/%n/Maildir
   inbox = yes
   hidden = no
   list = yes
   subscriptions = yes
}

I've just run into the same situation 1 hour ago! My namespace declaration
is

namespace {
        type = private
        separator = '/'
        inbox = yes
}

(the default value for location is mail_location)

and dsync is working fine (it's slow, but it's working).

the first thing i see is that there must not be quotes around the separator,
don't know who dovecot
is working with the quotes...
the locatin needs a prefix about the format so anything like
maildir:/var/mail/%d/%n/Maildir
