Duh, -d show the defaults...
anyway the conclusion seems to be correct, postfix is using system directories 
for various things including spool dir and the master.lock and prng_exch files.

When temporarily changing the owner of this directory (/var/lib/postfix) to the 
kolab user, mails are delivered as they are supposed to.

I've filed this as a bug in the bugtracker 
(https://issues.kolab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=554).
