You might just be running into chown user.group problems ... try escaping the
'.' or wrapping the username in quotes. That failing, does al.koch have an
entry in /etc/passwd? Your final question makes me believe that none of your
users are in /etc/passwd at all. You might want to convert to vpopmail, which
wouldn't require adding users to /etc/passwd.
