NOT ABLE TO ADMINISTER MAIL BOXES WITH CYRUS-2.2.10

My version of cyradm is same as supplied with the cyrus-2.2.10 source
I agree that cyradm does not get compiled as supplies and you need to 
patch line no 46 of Makefile.pl as under to get it compiled

my $SASL_LIB = $ENV{SASL_LIB} || "-lsasl2 -ldb";

I have patched the Makefile.PL and have recompiled cyradm and cyrus
As far as permissions on various directories are concerned , my 
cyrus-2.0.16 was working perfect till last week and I have just upgraded 
to 2.2.10  exactly following the steps in documentation
If some of the permissions were wrong then the programs in 
/usr/cyrus/bin/ when run as cyrus user will also give some error but all 
programs are working fine

In my opinion there could be either of  two problems :

1. php and cyradm mailbox adsministation commands are reading the 
mailbox.db not as skiplist database but as bdb file
2. Cyrus support for virtual domains is creating problem for php and cyradm

Except for cyradm and php mailbox administation commands everything is fine
I am using imp as webmail interface which is wotking fine

I am not getting any clue from any of log even all debuggers are ser on
