You need to have the 'c' right in order to create/delete a mailbox.

It _could_ be an ACL problem, but I'd be more inclined to think its a 
Perl problem.  Try doing this:

imtest -a root -m cram-md5 localhost
. LIST "" "*"
. GETACL user.ene

You're logging an the local6.debug level.  Step this down to local6.info 
and these will go away.

You configured Cyrus to use idled, but haven't added it to your 
cyrus.conf.  If you have it in cyrus.conf, then it has crashed.
