All owned by cyrus:cyrus - if I pick "any other mailbox" (which looks 
identical disk wise) - reconstruct runs, and outputs the name of the 
mailbox it just reconstructed, e.g.

  % reconstruct user.test.somemailbox; echo $?
    user.test.somemailbox
    0
  %
(this one has no issues hence no list of discovered files etc.)


But for the problematic one, it just does:

  % reconstruct user.test.othermailbox; echo $?
    0
  %

Ok, no error - no logs so I ktrace'd it. I can see it looks like it's 
looking at the mailboxes.db file (this folder *is* in mailboxes.db) - it 
then kind of gives up.

I think I'll put this to one side until the server is shutdown - i.e. to 
100% rule out anything that might be related to the mailbox possibly being 
locked / open. If that still fails guess I'm back to the drawing board / 
gdb to find out what's going on.

Thanks for the replies...
