If you are trying to re-use a config file from 0.99 it won't work. You need to follow the layout of the newer files for your current version and adjust the settings as needed.
It wasn't that, but that did put me on the right track. I had copied over an old version of dovecot.conf by mistake. Copying in the current one and changing a few path lines got it working.
Thanks to all for the suggestions.
