OK. Looks like I was a bit wrong. Your userdb doesn't return any home  
directory (it's preferred to return one, http://wiki.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers#homedirs) 
  and deliver preserves HOME environment which is set to /root in your  
case. That causes the chdir() error. I think I'll have to do something  
about this in v1.2. The HOME environment shouldn't be preserved when  
using -d parameter.
