i just installed courier-imap on a new machine, and i'm getting the
following in /var/log/maillog:

imapd: chdir "/var/mail/vmail": Permission denied

would make sense, if the permissions were incorrect.  but, here's a line
from  userdb:

home=/var/mail/vmail|uid=2000|mail=/var/mail/vmail/Maildir-brian|gid=2000

( imappw intentionally deleted )

the directory permissions for Maildir-brian:

drwx------   6 vmuser  vmuser  512 Jul 22 22:52 .
drwxrwx---   3 root    mail    512 Jul 27 03:01 ..
drwx------  10 vmuser  vmuser  512 Jul 28 13:32 Maildir-brian

and, the line from /etc/passwd:

vmuser::2000:2000::0:0:mail user:/var/mail/vmail:/nonexistent

the UID/GID in userdb matches both /etc/passwd *and* the directory
permissions for the maildir ... why am i getting bounced from 'unable to
chdir' ?
