Hi Sascha,

There's a much more complete re-implementation of the rehash script
available as part of:

http://cyrus.brong.fastmail.fm/patches/cyrus-hashuser-2.3.9.diff

which also has another hashing style which groups folders by the user
who owns them all at one level, basically to make fastrename a lot
cleaner.

One thing this script doesn't do (yet, I should revisit it) is clean
up un-used directories on disk once it has finished.

Regards,

Bron.
