From my past experience with Cyrus-imap on SuSE Linux and from reading the documents installed on my MDK 9.1 box, certain directories and files need to be owned by the 'cyrus' user. However, when I look at the directory hierarchy installed by the 2.1.12 rpm all these directories are owned by 'root' instead and the 'cyrus' user doesn't even exist. is this a problem with the RPM or do I have to create the user myself and then go and change the ownership of the files/directories?
This was a problem until 2.1.12-5mdk which I fixed in 6mdk. The problem is that I created cyrus user with a fixed uid, so if there was already a user with the same uid, cyrus user wouldn't be created, causing the problem you're seeing. I realized that a fixed uid isn't really necessary.

(use mozilla, or they'll shove pop-ups at you, sorry it's beyond my control).
