Hi, I'm trying to use mailutil to convert UNIX mailboxes to mbx and am running into a permissions problem. I'm testing using some vanilla accounts before converting live users. When I run this command as root:

mailutil copy -d -u vanilla2 INBOX "#driver.mbx/INBOX"

I get this error:

Can't create mailbox node //INBOX: Permission denied

It seems to switch to the vanilla2 user, but it doesn't want to create the file in his home directory. Any way I can get around that? I know that I can create a proto INBOX to copy in the user's home directory and have the mail snarfed from /var/mail/<user> next time they check but I will need to get mailutil to work so that I can convert their folders. This is imap-2007d running on Solaris 10 (SPARC). Thanks...
