Hi Ger,

sieve_before should be a path to sieve script file, not to a directory.
in your configuration, you set sieve_before to /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/before 
which is a directory.
I don't get that reading:
https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Configuration

Either file or directory.  If a file, it searches for the svbin of that
name, otherwise compiles your script.  If directory, executes all in the

directory.
Well spotted Robert, I didn't know that. It also says here 
https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Usage#scriptcompile that one must be 
aware of permission issues with auto-compiled scripts : if the system user used 
by sieve to compile the script doesn't have write access to the directory where 
the script lives then it can't write the compiled version in that location. 
This is why one should consider pre-compiling scripts himself to make sure the 
compiled version is written to disk

As mentionned in the link you gave :

"IMPORTANT: Be sure to manually pre-compile the scripts specified by sieve_before 
and sieve_after using the sievec tool, as explained here."

The howto I am making has:

mkdir /home/sieve
cat <<EOF>/home/sieve/globalfilter.sieve || exit 1
require "fileinto";
if anyof
  (
    header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES",
    header :contains "subject" "***SPAM***"
  )
{
  fileinto "Spam";
}
EOF

sievec /home/sieve/globalfilter.sieve
chown -R vmail:mail /home/sieve

With:

sed -i -e "s/#sieve_before =/sieve_before = \/home\/sieve\/globalfilter.sieve/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf
