Try doing some mailbox manipulation.

First, dump the mailboxes.db file to something you can edit:

su - cyrus
cd /var/spool/imap
ctl_mboxlist -d > badmailboxes

Edit badmailboxes to remove the problem name, and move the bad directory 
on the filesystem to the new name.

Now load the mailboxes file back to db format:

ctl_mboxlist -u < badmailboxes
ctl_cyrusdb -c

That should fix your problem.
