dovecot.list.index.log owned by root: why?

I use these sql-queries to let all mailboxes be accessed by the uid=1001:

passdb sql {

     default_password_scheme = MD5-CRYPT
     passdb_sql_query = SELECT username as user, password, \
			 '/home/vmail/%{user | domain }/%{user}' as userdb_home, 
'maildir:/home/vmail/%{user | domain }/%{user}' as userdb_mail,\
			 1001 as userdb_uid, 1001 as userdb_gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = 
'%{user}' AND active = '1'
}

userdb prefetch {
}

( I assume this following query isn't used then anymore)

userdb sql {
     userdb_sql_query = SELECT username as user, password, \
			'/home/vmail/%{user | domain }/%{user}' as userdb_home, 
'maildir:/home/vmail/%{user | domain }/%{user}' as userdb_mail,\
			 1001 as  userdb_uid, 1001 as userdb_gid \
			FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%{user}' AND active = '1'
     userdb_sql_iterate_query = SELECT userid AS username, domain FROM users
}

id 1001
uid=1001(vmail) gid=1001(vmail) groups=1001(vmail),118(dovecot)


I get errors like:

Why do these 2 files get owned by root now ... ?

All files below "/home/vmail" should be owned by vmail:vmail

I ran chown, and chgrp, sure .. but the errors return.

How to fix this? Thanks in advance!
