IMAP Trouble

Yes, /var/imap does exist, its owned by cyrus group owned by mail.  Perms
are 775.  If would help, here's a copy of /etc/imapd.conf.  I've kept it
pretty simple.

configdirectory: /var/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
partition-name: /var/spool/imap
admins: cyrus root
umask: 027
allowanonymouslogin: no
autocreatequota: 100000000000
# autocreatequota: -1
quotawarn: 90
timeout: 130
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd


Now, one strange thing I just noticed.  IMAPD is looking for the admin.seen
file at /var/imapd/user/I/admin.seen.  The path to admin.seen is different
on the server -- it is instead /var/imapd/user/i .. all of the directories
under /var/impad/user are lower case (a through z).  There are no files in
/var/imapd/user/i directory (nor are there any files in any of the other
directories under /var/imapd/user).

Does /var/imap exist at all?
