On order to automatically create the maildir, the RECIPIENT UID or GID
must have write permission.

i got it set so it will use postfix/postfix for all users (following the
high5.net howto)

What is the output from:
ls -ld /usr/local/virtual
grep postfix /etc/group
postconf virtual_gid_maps

The the "howto" is wrong. The postfix uid (and group) should not be used
for access control to anything other than the Postfix queues. Use a
different uid/gid for maildirs.
This does not explain your problem, but it cast the quality of the "howto"
in doubt.

When i experimented with Postfix+LDAP on my test machine (Linux Mandrake
9.1), i got such error too.
Postfix was installed from standard rpm of this distro
(postfix-2.0.6-1mdk.i586.rpm). I tested different parameters in
configuration of Postfix and users in LDAP, but problem suddenly
disappeared only when i uninstalled postfix's rpm and compiled postfix
from source (postfix-2.0.10). Postfix's configuration was the same, but
this error vanish into thin air... I thought it was bug of Mandrake's
build of postfix, but it seems problem in a compilation process (may be
its need some 'right' devel-files?)

This may be a chroot problem. Apparantly the Mandrake rpms install
chrooted as default.
