I will say this: dovecot's error reporting in general is head and
shoulders above the norm. Makes tracking down problems sooo much easier.
Something else I noticed, should the dict-server socket really be mode
777? At least a-x I would think.

Probably easier to tell if you would post your setup, but I guess this
fixes it:
socket listen {
master {
path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
mode = 0600
user= vmail
group = vmail
}
No, as that only affects the socket itself. If you look at the error
message and my email you see that the problem is in the parent directory.
I do have user=vmail on the socket. I didn't set group=vmail but with
mode 0600 that doesn't matter.
