cyradm allowing non admin to log in, but not cyrus

In imapd.conf I have 

admins: cyrus joe

I try
	
[jdv at favre jdv]$ cyradm -user cyrus -auth login localhost
IMAP Password:   
Login failed: user not found at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread-multi/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm line 117
cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with login as cyrus
[jdv at favre jdv]$

then

[root at favre jdv]# /usr/local/sbin/sasldblistusers2

and I get my users listed, one of which is jvilla at mydomain...

so, just for fun I tried 

[root at favre root]# cyradm -user jvilla -auth login localhost
IMAP Password: 
favre>


but I don't have any privileges other than help, info, lq, server...

this sort of blows my perception of the admins directive in imapd.conf.

I also had cyrus in sasldb2 as well as user joe...

I then created a new user called jonathan to /etc/sasldb2 but am unable
to use cyradm with this new user, jonathan.  why jvilla... that account
name only exists in /etc/sasldb2
