Works here .. Maybe try the latest nightly snapshots? Perhaps things
have been fixed there already.

You're missing location for other users' maildirs here. Should probably
be:

  location = maildir:/usr/local/virtual/%%d/%%u/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u

What are the contents of this file? Also you'll only need
acl_shared_dict. Looks like dovecot-example.conf incorrectly used
acl_dict.

Anyway..:

See the "namespace shared/schetterer.com/%/" part. You were somehow
trying to look up a user called "%". Although unknown user lookups
shouldn't cause error messages to be written to log files. Have to get
this fixed.
