Right. Huh. Ok, so if you edit dbmail.conf and in the DBMAIL section, set TRACE_SYSLOG=5, and run dbmail-export as root, then you'll get all sorts of details in your maillog. Also, I thought that I'd changed the mailbox case sensitivity by changing the function call that gets the list of matching mailboxes, but they're both case sensitive, so that behavior actually has not changed at all in SVN since the 2.2.5 release.
