You certainly have to be careful not to become a door mat but I agree that grunt work is where it's at.

* Deal with difficult users or customers

* Write documentation

* Go back and forth between different stakeholders to make sure everybody is on the same page

* Make sure other developers have the right tools and equipment

Depending on the manager he could be doing this but if he doesn't the senior Dev has to do it or the project fails
