First glib guess is that Postfix is very unhappy about what ownerships 
and permissions vfat will conjure up instead of those for a *nix filesystem.

Second glib comment is whether you've specified for the Maildir 
correctly and whether you have the required Maildir dir structure in 
place (see: man maildirmake++).

Let us know what you find.

Good luck,
Martin

(ps: Sorry about the "glib" glib pun :-O )
