    so, this would mean, if my sendmail finds in the users directory a

    but it doesn't...so i thought, there must be more in the sendmail.cf
    or somewhere in cyrus.... 

Also, you need to make sure sendmail is looking up user information -- 
the default Cyrus flags don't require a user to be present on the mail 
server so sendmail doesn't look up the home directory and can't find 
.forward files there.
