try:

Manual Process
---------------
Not sure if this totally works because I use sieveshell but I know you
can edit the files in the sieve repository so it seems like it would
work.

Sieve scripts are stored in the config directory, which on my system is:

  /var/lib/imap/sieve/<user initial>/<user>/<script>.script

the properties on the script are 600 and cyrus:mail.  You also need to
make a simlink to the script called default to activate it. 

So say your scripts name is jim.sv if you upload it with sieveshell it
would windup in your sieve directory as:

  /var/lib/imap/sieve/j/jim/jim.sv.script

and if you activate it there would be a simlink called default that
points to it.  HTH
