Maybe everyone is waiting for someone smarter than themselves to answer 
this.. :-)

So.. hoping I read and understood your email correctly ...

The first thing you tried failed because only root can change 
permissions, except for using the setuid bit which is probably not what 
you want here.
The second might have failed because of:

userdb {
   args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users
   driver = passwd-file
}

dsync is using userdb and not authdb because it's not checking a 
password here. Can it be that its-virtmail doesn't have permission to 
read /etc/dovecot/users ?
