See if http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/7f238016db81 helps. If
you're not saving mails via dovecot-lda it might still complain if there
are new files.
Also if it complains about indexes add :INDEX=MEMORY to location.
Alternative to the patch is to add :CONTROL=~/Maildir/snapshot-control/%
u or something to location, but that could get problematic also.

It should be accessible as "INBOX.backup.da", although some older
Dovecot versions don't handle that properly.
