I'm currently trying to setup cyrus-imapd-2.1.11 on a NetBSD 1.6 server.
For some reason I keep seeing errors in the log files whenever the
ctl_cyrusdb checkpoint event is issued.

This is what I saw in the logs when I first started the master process..

Dec 17 04:15:21 kompressor master[1444]: process started
Dec 17 04:15:21 kompressor ctl_cyrusdb[1446]: recovering cyrus databases
Dec 17 04:15:23 kompressor ctl_cyrusdb[1446]: done recovering cyrus
databases
Dec 17 04:15:23 kompressor master[1444]: ready for work

Then immediately..

Dec 17 04:15:23 kompressor ctl_cyrusdb[1447]: checkpointing cyrus
databases
Dec 17 04:15:23 kompressor ctl_cyrusdb[1447]: DBERROR: archive
/var/imap/db: cyrusdb error
Dec 17 04:15:23 kompressor ctl_cyrusdb[1447]: DBERROR: error archiving
log file: /var/imap/db/log.0000000001
Dec 17 04:15:23 kompressor ctl_cyrusdb[1447]: DBERROR: archive
/var/imap/db: cyrusdb error
Dec 17 04:15:23 kompressor ctl_cyrusdb[1447]: done checkpointing cyrus
databases

These errors keep showing up in the logs every 30 minutes. Here are the
contents of the /var/imap/db directory..

This is a brand new server so no imap user accounts have been created
yet. Is there any reason to be concerned about these errors?
