I recreated your situation on my own system... but had no trouble...
cyradm -u cyrus localhost
Please enter your password: ********
IMAP Password: ******** (Why it asks for two passwords I don't
know... =] )
localhost> cm user1
user.chrispy user.df user1
localhost> sam user1 cyrus all
localhost> dm user1
localhost> lm
user.chrispy user.df
localhost> exit
A suggestion would be to dump the mailboxes DB to a textfile, remove the
offending line, and then reconstruct the mailboxes DB.
Example:
su cyrus -c "/path/to/ctl_mboxlist -d >mbox.out"
vi mbox.out
>>>remove the line and write changes<<<
su cyrus -c "/path/to/ctl_mboxlist -u <mbox.out"
rm -Rf <$partition-default>/user1
Hope that helps... I'm not sure why your original attempts at setting
the ACL and removing the entry didn't work... hmmm...
