You have to run maildirmake as the user who is going to be recieving the mail. 
For example to create a mail dir for joe@someplace.com: you wouls su to joe 
and then run maildirmake. Here's an example of my Maildir permissions:

drwx------    2 njolly   njolly      24576 Apr 10 14:52 cur
drwx------    2 njolly   njolly       8192 Jul  5 11:05 new
drwx------    2 njolly   njolly       4096 Jul  5 11:01 tmp
