No. Courier's logs are absolutely useless with respect to debugging. Its
pretty annoying.

You may want to check your mysql logs to determine if the db is actually
being queried. If not, try going through your authmysqlrc config file
and verifying that there are no trailing spaces on any lines. It's
stupid, but that can cause problems.
