Here's what I get:

a LIST "" "*" * LIST (\Unmarked \HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX" a OK LIST completed

Obviously there is some issue there because the "shared" stuff isn't showing up. Any ideas on how to solve this?

Check the ownership and permissions on both maildirs, and their parent directories going up to root.

All of the directories are owned by vmail:vmail. Permissions on the the "shared" subdirectory are 2777. Permissions on the rest of the directories (the private ones) are 0755.

Also, as an aside, what does "\HasNoChildren" mean?

No subfolders.

Does this mean it can't have subfolders or it doesn't?

Sorry, I sent this in HTML the first time around - my bad.

I'm having some issues with using shared maildirs. I have a virtual users setup using LDAP, postfix, and courier-imap. I can successfully send messages to the shared folders via Postfix, however I cannot subscribe to shared folders on courier-imap. Here's what I'm doing:

maildirmake -S /users/shared maildirmake -f Vacation -s write /users/shared maildirmake --add shared=/users/shared /users/nick.couchman/Maildir

When I go to my email client, though (I've tried Evolution and Mozilla Thunderbird) and try to subscribe to these folders, they don't appear in the list of folders available for subscription. I've also tried add the following line to the /etc/courier-imap/maildirshared file:

shared /users/shared

...but it doesn't help.

Can anyone see what I'm missing?

Try connecting to port 143, then

a LOGIN userid password

then:

a LIST "" "*"

and see what comes out.
