Can you run "ls -l" on the folders in question?  They should be owned by
kolab-r.

gavinmc at paidi:~$ ls -l /kolab/var/imapd/spool/
total 60
drwx------   3 kolab-r kolab-r  4096 2010-02-08 10:49 domain
drwx------   2 root    root    16384 2010-01-12 18:54 lost+found

drwxrwx---   2 kolab-r kolab-r  4096 2010-02-05 11:41 sync.

gavinmc at paidi:~$ sudo ls -l /kolab/var/imapd/spool/domain/

Subdirectories further down would also need to be checked.  Presumably the
filesystem is mounted read-write?
