Create the following config file or something similar:

log_path = /dev/stderr
info_log_path = /dev/stderr

mail_debug = yes
mail_location = maildir:%h/tmp/Maildir

protocol lda {
  postmaster_address = postmaster at example.org
  mail_plugins = cmusieve
}

put it in, say, ~/tmp/dovecot.lda-debug.conf.  Directly invoke deliver as
a regular user with the -c option pointing to this config file, e.g.

user at shell$ date | /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -c ~/tmp/dovecot.lda-debug.conf

Observe the output.

I think you ought to consider using an ADDRESS test rather than a HEADER
test for this sort of match, thus

if address :is :all ["from", "to"] ["root at amfes.com", "root at amfeslan.local"] {
  # ... etc
}

which will do proper address matching (i.e. phrase or comment parts in
headers won't match) against a reasonable set of sender and recipient
headers (for example a CC header).
