I have not seen this problem pop up before. There will be an underlying
database (e.g. berkeley) on the filesystem which holds the credentials, and
perhaps is going missing.

Also, saslauthd is an unnecessary layer in the authentication process, for
this guide's setup.

Permissions problem? Or perhaps it's for the same reason as above. Are
these on temporary filesystems?
