/var/run/dovecot/ and /var/run/dovecot/auth-master gets automatically created when dovecot starts up. Unless your base_dir setting is something else besides /var/run/dovecot in which case it doesn't matter anyway. So.. I don't really know what your real problem is. What error messages exactly do you see and when?
