Is the inbound e-mail submitted through hivemail (like through a web
interface) or is postfix piping an inbound e-mail to hivemail?

luser? I see luser_relay in main.cf.

Have you read the chapter about using luser_relay at:
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html

Especially the parameters that override luser_relay.

So what is this script checking? envelope recipient or header recipient.
If so, how is postfix passing these parameters?

Have you tried turning on debugging in postfix? See:

http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html

Also, are you possibly running postfix in a chroot'd environment? The 
debug_readme talks about howto enable/disable this.
