These are some generic mbox bugs. I think the error goes away if you just repeat the run? > dsync(john): Error: Sync failed for mbox file > /var/opt/migrate/users/john/inbox: seq=114779 uid=114779 uid_broken=0 > originally needed 34 bytes, now needs 35 bytes > dsync(john): Error: Sync failed for mbox file > /var/opt/migrate/users/john/inbox: seq=114778 uid=114778 uid_broken=0 > originally needed 34 bytes, now needs 35 bytes .. or are these all separate dsync runs giving different errors? Anyway, if you can send me an mbox file where I can reproduce this, I could fix it. You can use http://dovecot.org/tools/mbox-anonymize.pl script to replace all the actual data in the mbox file with 'x' chars.
