[Dovecot] Dsync Permissions Issue

Greetings,

I recently upgraded Dovecot from 1.2 to 2.0.14, for purposes of using 
Dsync to migrate emails from one server to another.  I'm using MySQL for 
authentication.  However I get this error message when I try to run 
Dsync, and after looking around for an answer, I'm at a bit of a loss:

[root at triata ~]# dsync -v -u asai at globalchangemusic.org backup ssh 
-p22222 vmail at xx.xxx.xx.xxx dsync -u asai at globalchangemusic.org
vmail at xx.xxx.xx.xxx's password:
dsync(vmail): Error: userdb lookup: 
connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb) failed: Permission denied 
(euid=1001(vmail) egid=1001(vmail) missing +r perm: 
/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb, euid is not dir owner)
dsync(vmail): Fatal: User lookup failed: Internal error occurred. Refer 
to server log for more information.
dsync-local(asai at globalchangemusic.org): Error: read() from worker 
server failed: EOF

Config as follows:
