Looking at your configuration, you're only telling dovecot to look in
/etc/dovecot/sieves. If you need a default sieve,
http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve/CMU suggests you need to add
"sieve_global_path = /etc/dovecot/default.sieve" AND make sure that
/etc/dovecot/sieves/email.sieve doesn't exist.

The above page also suggests looking for a
/etc/dovecot/default.sieve.err file in case you've made errors.

"ls /usr/lib/dovecot/modules" should give you a rough idea of what
you've got.
