Thanks as usual Derrick. I got it working. I believe the problem was that postfix opens the pwcheck UNIX domain socket in /var/spool/postfix/var/run/pwcheck whereas the pwcheck daemon opens it in /var/run/pwcheck. The postfix-tls package does not create these directories and the necessary link. This is also not explained well (at all) in the documentation.
