It's a Maildir++ thing.
dovecot tries to create directories (at least "cur") just below the location: location = maildir:/var/spool/imap/shared
This is kind of a bug, but too big of a change for v1.0. It's already been fixed in v1.1.
Btw: Which permissions are required for read-only shared Maildir boxes? Dovecot itself runs under root account but it seems that the children changes to the user, which is actually logged in?
http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserIds explains this a bit. So the mail user(s) need to have read-permissions to the maildir. Write permission isn't needed if you don't want users to be able to change flags and if you've set per-user index and control dirs.
