Thanks again Sam, that was it, although it took some rather bent debugging.
I eventually set a Maildir to 777 and tried to deliver into it. The delivery
worked, but the resulting messages had some very strange values for groupid
and userid. It turns out that I had entered the groupUid and userUid
properties transposed in the ldapauthrc, so it was trying to create files
with these values swapped, and, obviously, failing.

Everything seems to be working now. Time to cut over... *chortles* *rubs
hands with glee*
