That worked fine on our last system, but dovecot doesn't like it. It
leaves the imap indices for the
export mailbox in an inconsistent state, so that roundcube (through
dovecot) refuses to drop
messages into it.  The error message roundcube emits is:

ServerError:  Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file.

You change the "export" mbox to be one byte size containing LF. It
should instead be completely zero size

that was it.  Changed the script that does the move to use

cat >~me/mail/export <<EOD
EOD

and then the mailbox is usable.

Thanks!
