dovecot - Mar 2012 - dovecot and cloudfile systems

I'm trying to store mailboxes in a cloudfile system and I am running into
alot of problems using courier, between time skew, file locking and cache
creation problems. I was wondering if dovecot has any problems using maildirs
across a limited fuse file system.
I cant lock files, 

This is accessed using the fuse library.
I thought taking out the standard checking for return values would be a work
around because everything imap daemon is doing can be done from a shell by hand
except filelocking and setting times on files.
I am doing this on Rack Spaces cloud files. This is something that not many if
any are doing.

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Director will probably make it work okay. Otherwise if
even Courier doesn't work, Dovecot won't work either.
