My mailbox format reads "mail_location =
maildir:~:CONTROL=/var/no-quota/%u:INDEX=MEMORY"
The error is factually correct, but there is not .dovecot.sieve/tmp
directory or file as .dovecot.sieve is a file (the head sieve script
that calls the subordinate scripts out of the /sieve directory.
There is a tmp directory at /sieve/tmp/
drwxr----- 2 vmail vmail 2B May 31 04:14 tmp
Any hints as to why this isn't working? It does seem like the right
answer.
The answer is in the wiki page you referred to:
"Home directory shouldn't be the same as mail directory with mbox or
Maildir formats (but with dbox/obox it's fine)."
You should set mail_home (where for example the sieve script is saved
to) to a different path than mail_location.
