You're looking in the wrong logs.  Assuming you have things setup 
according to the documentation, look in /var/log/imapd.log and 
/var/log/auth.log

What does you imapd.conf look like?

My guess is that this problem isn't limited to timsieved.  Try changing 
sivtest to imtest with the same arguments and see what happens (you may 
have to add -s or -t '' in order to use PLAIN with imapd).
