This will likely cause a problem with the ACLs.

I suspect this can be caused by a munged ACL.

-r means "look at the mailbox list and descend"

-f means "look at subdirectories" which won't always work quite right on
top level mailboxes because of how hashing is done.

Its unlikely fulldirhash affected this at all.
