I just tried with chown nobody:nogroup auth-worker
Now the error is gone.
The question remains : what does create auth-worker ? The installer ?
then I think ubuntu does it wrong.

I'm sorry for the late reply but I'm not working full time on this migration.

Unfortunately, I now experienced and remembered the fact that the /run or 
/var/run directories are temporary
directories, i.e. they are recreated on boot. Which means that the ownership is 
recreated on boot and in this case
set to dovecot:root. Which means dovecot can't access the "file"

sounds like a systemd distribution
man tmpfiles.d

[root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat /etc/tmpfiles.d/dovecot.conf
d /run/dovecot 0775 dovecot dovecot -


Thanks for the reply.

I don't know if Ubuntu 12.04 is systemd based. I didn't find tmpfiles.d so I looked further. In dovecot.conf I finally found :

service auth {
  unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
    group = postfix
    mode = 0660
    user = postfix
  }
  unix_listener auth-master {
    group = vmail
    mode = 0660
    user = vmail
  }
  user = nobody
}

Notice that user=nobody. I commented that out, now it works.
