I have tried to specify the dovecot-lda in two ways. First, in the
/etc/postfix/main.cf file:
mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f "$SENDER" -a
"$RECIPIENT"
or alternatively, I leave the mailbox_command blank and specify the
following in the .forward file of a test user:
| "/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda"
Either approach gives me the same error(s). When a mail message is sent to
the test user USER1, the following errors appear in the dovecot-lda error
file:

At first, I interpreted this to mean the file permissions were not set
correctly on the home directory or the Maildir folder. However, I have
opened these up to full rwx access for everyone and I still get the same
errors. Alternatively, perhaps this is related somehow to the dovecot-lda
authentication process via the password or user databases, but I can't make
any sense of the documentation.
What's the output of:
ls -nal /home/user1
