Did you read the man-page to build before starting? First off you don't
want to be in /usr/src/dovecot when calling build. You want to be in the
directory with the package you want to build.

Also you might try 

$ export BUILD_RPMS=/usr/src/dovecot/

and then

$ build --clean --verify

No need for the --rpms swich.
