[Dovecot] Error - Dovecot Permission denied

Hello:

Since I posted this original messages, I have installed, re-installed
Postfix-2.3.3, Dovecot-1.1.1 & Dovecot-Sieve-1.1.5 over and over & still got
the "Permission Denied" error (see "/var/log/maillog" logs below).

Here what I found! If I add the following in "/etc/postfix/main.cf";

Mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver

Then the "Permission Denied" error appears and all mail is bounced back with
error message.

If I remove this line, all emails are delivered fine. No error.

This problem started when I switched dovecot from Ver# 1.0.7 to 1.1.1

So my question is: 

(1) has something changed in Dovecot V# 1.1.1 to cause this error?
(2) what if I leave this line out? Would it cause problem with either
Dovecot or Dovecot-Sieve?
(3) Any other solution.

FYI, I have already included Postfix, Dovecot & Dovecot-Sieve configuration
in my previous post.

HELP. I have spent 20 days on this problem.
