Karl,

  does /home/dovecot/index/domain.com and/or
/home/dovecot/index/domain.com/user exist?

if these directories don't exist already it might be complaining about
trying to write a file in a non-existant directory heirarchy.

That's the only thing I can think of at the moment that might cause this
problem.

hope it helps.
