I'd been meaning to investigate this problem, but hadn't had the time
to, but someone may well have beaten me to it.  Could you try the latest
cyrus from pkgsrc?  patch-ak has been added which may well assist/fix
this problem, the commit message was:

Log Message:
- deal with NetBSD failing on mkdir("foo/"), rmdir("foo/") etc.
- print the correct errors, not from a stale error code.

(yes early NetBSD does not work with /'s in mkdir or rmdir)

Cheers,
