IMAP Trouble

Hello all,

I recently setup cyrus-impad 2.1.12 (along with cyrus-sasl 2.1.12) and
created a mailbox called admin using the cyradm tool (cm user.admin).  I'm
using Outlook 2000 in 'internet' mode to access the mailbox.  It would seem
that I'm missing something when it comes to creating new mailboxes.  The
.seen .sub files are not getting created when the mailbox is created.   Any
help resolving this would be most appreciated.  Here are some log files to
illustrate what's happening:

When I open Outlook:
mercury imapd[26411]: accepted connection
mercury imapd[26411]: login: NTAdmin.simutronics.com[198.83.204.82] admin
plaintext
mercury imapd[26411]: IOERROR: opening /var/imap/user/I/admin.seen: No such
file or directory
mercury imapd[26411]: DBERROR: opening /var/imap/user/I/admin.seen: cyrusdb
error
mercury imapd[26411]: Could not open seen state for admin (System I/O error)
mercury imapd[26411]: open: user admin opened INBOX

When I look at the INBOX in Outlook:
mercury imapd[25576]: IOERROR: opening /var/imap/user/I/admin.sub: No such
file or directory
mercury imapd[25576]: IOERROR: opening /var/imap/user/I/admin.seen: No such
file or directory
mercury imapd[25576]: DBERROR: opening /var/imap/user/I/admin.seen: cyrusdb
error
mercury imapd[25576]: Could not open seen state for admin (System I/O error)
mercury imapd[25576]: open: user admin opened INBOX


When I add/move messages to the store in Outlook (the messages move into the
mailbox successfully and are still in the mailbox if I close and re-open
Outlook:
mercury imapd[25576]: IOERROR: opening /var/imap/user/I/admin.seen: No such
file or directory
mercury imapd[25576]: DBERROR: opening /var/imap/user/I/admin.seen: cyrusdb
error
mercury imapd[25576]: IOERROR: opening /var/imap/user/I/admin.seen: No such
file or directory
mercury imapd[25576]: DBERROR: opening /var/imap/user/I/admin.seen: cyrusdb
error


When I create a subfolder -- Under INBOX -- the folder gets created, but
when you exit and restart the client the newly created folder is no longer
there.  Here is what the log files look like when I create the new
subfolder.
mercury imapd[25576]: IOERROR: opening /var/imap/user/I/admin.sub: No such
file or directory
mercury imapd[25576]: myfetch: starting txn 2147483683
mercury imapd[25576]: myfetch: reusing txn 2147483683
mercury imapd[25576]: mystore: reusing txn 2147483683
mercury imapd[25576]: mycommit: committing txn 2147483683
mercury imapd[25576]: mystore: starting txn 2147483684
mercury imapd[25576]: mystore: committing txn 2147483684
mercury imapd[25576]: IOERROR: opening /var/imap/user/I/admin.sub: No such
file or directory
