Can you post the logic that your script was using? That might help.
Doesn't look like a skiplist issue directly to me. Possibly it's a
"was in a transaction and rolled back" issue, but that's separate,
and it doesn't explain the mails still being on disk!
Also - do you have split meta? I.e. are the mail files in a different
location than the cyrus.* files?
