Answering some of my questions, but not the request for complete c-client
syntax. Top-posting because of mail client limitations.
1. mailutil transfer does not delete the source, at least for me. The man page
does say the program ordinarily opens source mailboxes read-only.
2. {localhost/norsh} suppresses the attempted r/ssh.
3. Using localhost with a destination cyrus server works--no authentication
problems.

Subject: {local} and other mailutil issues
Does "mailutil transfer" delete the source mailboxes and messages as it
completes, or even as it goes? The man page doesn't mention it, but the name
seems to imply it.
When I used {localhost} with mailutil it seemed it tried to ssh to localhost (I
gave it passwords so this worked), and this is consistent with FAQ 4.3 (given
that rsh is aliased to ssh on my system). r/ssh'ing to a system you're already
on seems silly. Is there a way to turn that off?
Is there any complete documentation on the c-client syntax for use in the
mailutil command line? From various previous discussions I can see there's a
lot more than is mentioned in man mailutil, but I haven't found anything like a
complete spec (http://www.washington.edu/imap/documentation/internal.txt.html
would probably indicate the capabilities if I studied it, but it is internal
function documentation, not user documentation for the mailutil command line).
http://www.washington.edu/imap/documentation/drivers.txt.html has info on
drivers for on-disk mailboxes, but not for deliveries using imap.
Lastly, any tips for using mailutil to transfer from courier to a cyrus server?
On the latter, I'm a little concerned about getting the "realm" right, esp if
I use {localhost}. My initial efforts to do the transfer failed, but I was
having authentication problems.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
