Thank you for that extremely detailed debugging procedure.  Resulting 
output is below:

deliver(vmail): Sep 05 13:05:28 Info: Loading modules from directory: 
/usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda
deliver(vmail): Sep 05 13:05:28 Info: Module loaded:

deliver(vmail): Sep 05 13:05:28 Info: maildir:

deliver(vmail): Sep 05 13:05:28 Info: maildir:

control=, inbox=
deliver(vmail): Sep 05 13:05:28 Info: msgid=: saved mail to INBOX

Based on this, the sieve script is not being executed at all.  My temp 
config is:

log_path = /dev/stderr
info_log_path = /dev/stderr
mail_debug = yes
mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/amfes.com/dmiller
protocol lda {
    postmaster_address = postmaster at amfes.com
    mail_plugins = cmusieve
    sieve = /var/mail/%d/%u/sieve
}

I did make a discovery - hardcoding the sieve path, without variables, 
e.g. sieve = /var/mail/amfes.com/dmiller/sieve - worked!

Is there a problem using the domain / user variables in the 
configuration file?

I appreciate the assistance with the script as well - I obviously need 
to learn the sieve language.
