Hi again,

A couple more patches:

acsieve-sievedir.patch corrects this (though it sounds like you've
already made this change yourself -- included for completion though)

>> Oct  7 16:54:10 imapsync cyrus/imap[4062]: autocreate_sieve:
>> Unable to
create /var/spool/sieve/r/root/default.script.bc.NEW. Unknown error

This wouldn't be an "unknown error" if it would bother to  tell us what
the error was....

acsieve-syslog.patch fixes this, so the actual error will be logged.  It
also fixes a bunch of similar syslog calls through this function that
were doing the same unhelpful thing (i.e. logging an error without
including the error message).

I haven't had a chance to put together a test case for this yet, sorry.
In the meantime hopefully the improved error messages will help us track
this down.  Thanks for sending through these reports! :)

Cheers,

ellie
