trouble getting started

Hi,

I'm trying to use OfflineImap and Dovecot to mirror my Gmail account on 
my laptop (for eventual browsing using Emacs Gnus).

I keep running into the following error:

I'm not sure where the problem is. I've been playing with .offlinerc and 
the dovecot configs, but I'm confused as to all the options and 
interactions. Here's my offlinimaprc:

[general]
accounts = ISP
maxsyncaccounts = 1

[Account ISP]
localrepository = Local
remoterepository = Remote

[Repository Local]
type = IMAP
preauthtunnel = MAIL=maildir:$HOME/Maildir /usr/lib/dovecot/imap
holdconnectionopen = yes

[Repository Remote]
type = Gmail
remotehost = imap.googlemail.com
remoteuser = myemailaddress at gmail.com
remotepass = mypassword
maxconnections = 1
realdelete = no
folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername in ['INBOX'] (5)
ssl = yes

I've also tried setting up the Local Repository like this:

[Repository Local]
type = IMAP
remotehost = localhost
port = 143
remoteuser = mylocalusername
remotepass = mylocaluserpassword

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Tyler
