sieveshell authentication failure

[guildencrantz at menagerie.cc]

Okay, the imap server is working fine, and sendmail is properly passing on
my mail.  The problem is that I want to be able to filter my email and I
can't get into sieveshell.

Here's the setup:

cyrus-imapd-2.1.13
cyrus-sasl-2.1.15
sendmail-8.12.9

[root at ophelia src]# cat /etc/imapd.conf
configdirectory: /var/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
admins: root cyrus
allowanonymouslogin: no
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN
tls_cert_file: /var/imap/server.pem
tls_key_file: /var/imap/server.pem
sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail
sieveusehomedir: false
sievedir: /usr/sieve
[root at ophelia src]#

/usr/sieve is fully developed (all 26 subdirectories are in place)

[root at ophelia src]# telnet localhost sieve

Any suggestions?
