timesieved is only used when sieve scripts are stored in the 'sievedir'
hierarchy.  If you're using home directories, then there is no reason to
have timsieved in cyrus.conf.

The syntax of your script looks ok, but you might want to check it with
the sieve/test.c program in the distribution.  Other than that, make
sure that the 'cyrus' user has permissions to read the sieve script --
that includes execute permissions on all of the parent directories of
the script.
