If the script includes a fileinto action it needs to begin with the line

  require "fileinto";

This is because fileinto is an optional capability for Sieve
implementations (see RFC 3028 sections 2.10.5, 3.2 and 4.2). Admittedly 
the error message is ambiguous to someone who doesn't already know the 
special meaning being given to the verb "require": perhaps something like

  "require" statement missing for fileinto capability

would be clearer?
