repairing mailboxes.db

I am sorry to bother this list with this since directions seem so clear
but I am not getting them.

Included with distribution is a script to repair db...
#!/bin/sh
#

# stop cyrus-imapd
service cyrus-imapd stop

# backup existing mailboxes.db
mv /var/lib/imap/mailboxes.db /var/lib/imap/mailboxes.db.$$
find /var/spool/imap/?/user -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 | \
  while read i; do
    echo $(basename $i)
    echo "user.$i<\t>default<\t>$i<\t>lrswipcda<\t>cyrus<\t>lrswipcda"
>> /tmp/newmboxlist.txt
  done

# we have everyone's base directory in /tmp/newmboxlist.txt, now we
# import the new list
/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/ctl_mboxlist -u </tmp/newmboxlist.txt

# and reconstruct to get subfolders into the list
find /var/spool/imap/?/user -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 | \
  while read i; do
    /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/reconstruct -rf user.$i
  done
***
seems reasonable
but when I execute it... it doesn't work - cyrus doesn't have privileges
to execute 'service cyrus-imapd stop' and root doesn't have privileges
to run ctl_mboxlist command.

OK - so I stop cyrus-imapd as root and then try to run the rest as
cyrus...

administrator
craig
public_folder
root
line 1: no partition found
line 2: no partition found
line 3: no partition found
line 4: no partition found

$ cat /tmp/newmboxlist
user./var/spool/imap/a/user/administrator<\t>default<\t>/var/spool/imap/a/user/administrator<\t>lrswipcda<\t>cyrus<\t>lrswipcda
user./var/spool/imap/c/user/craig<\t>default<\t>/var/spool/imap/c/user/craig<\t>lrswipcda<\t>cyrus<\t>lrswipcda
user./var/spool/imap/p/user/public_folder<\t>default<\t>/var/spool/imap/p/user/public_folder<\t>lrswipcda<\t>cyrus<\t>lrswipcda
user./var/spool/imap/r/user/root<\t>default<\t>/var/spool/imap/r/user/root<\t>lrswipcda<\t>cyrus<\t>lrswipcda

And I'm getting nowhere fast

those the paths are there (ignoring the .user)
-bash-2.05b$ ls -
l /var/spool/imap/a/user/ /var/spool/imap/c/user/ /var/spool/imap/p/user/ /var/spool/imap/r/user/
/var/spool/imap/a/user/:
total 4
drwx------ 7 cyrus mail 4096 Feb 3 00:05 administrator

/var/spool/imap/c/user/:
total 16
drwx------ 61 cyrus mail 16384 Feb 5 11:47 craig

/var/spool/imap/p/user/:
total 4
drwx------ 7 cyrus mail 4096 Feb 2 14:46 public_folder

/var/spool/imap/r/user/:
total 4
drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 4096 Feb 5 11:01 root

man ctl_mboxlist makes me think the result of the command to 'dump' the
mailboxlist didn't work correctly because when I instead did...
$ /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/ctl_mboxlist -d > /tmp/newmboxlist.txt
looked list this (first line)
user.administrator default administrator lrswipcda

and this worked...BUT...

when I logged on, my inbox was empty, my folders looked fine and the
inbox files when I :

all of the numbered files should be showing in my inbox but don't show

Any suggestions appreciated

Thanks
