I've got Dovecot working here by just changing ownership of all the directories in the path down to the user folders & their Maildirs.
Using Dovecot 1.0 rc. Set up a second dovecot user and group (dovecotusers) for access to the maildb. Changed ownership of /var/MailRoot, /var/MailRoot/domains etc. etc. so all user directories are owner dovecotuser and group dovecotuser. No problems so far.
