Dovecot mkdir: Permission denied

I've installed the Roundcube script for my domain, but whenever I log in I get the following error:

Server Error: STATUS: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2012-05-12 23:31:22]

Output of tail -f /var/log/maillog

I've tried changing the permissions on the folders to 755 or 777, but it reverts back to 750.

Sorted it out by doing the following:

chown -R tlrdukd:tlrdukd /var/lib/dovecot

But I have to do this with other accounts in Virtualmin. Is there something wrong somewhere?
