You'll also need:

define(`CYRUSV2_MAILER_ARGS', `FILE /var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp')

Strange, those should have been created for you automatically, if you 
used Cyrus IMAP daemon from FC3 RPM packages.  I'd check permissions and 
ownerships.  Most of the error messages point into that direction. 
/var/lib/imap and everything inthere should be owned by user cyrus, 
group mail.  All files and directories should be accessible only by user 
cyrus (not by group).  Exceptions are /var/lib/imap and 
/var/lib/imap/socket (750) and /var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp special file 
(777, root:root ownership).

Also, some of those error messages look like those related to db4/glibc 
bug in FC2 (that was supposedly fixed in FC3 version of glibc).  If you 
are running i686 or FC3 you shouldn't be affected by it.  You said you 
are running FC3, so it is kind of strange.  Maybe the thing was in 
presmissions only.  If you are running i586 on FC2, than you will be 
affected by that bug.  I can provide you with alternative db4 RPM 
packages that have unofficial fix for the problem in case you are 
running FC2 on i586 or older system (it's the same as distribution db4, 
minus NPTL on i586 and older).

In short, the problem on FC2 was that db4 was compiled to use NPTL, 
however only i686 version of glibc library had support for it.  If you 
were running i586 system or older, i386 version of glibc library was 
installed, which of course doesn't have support for NPTL.  On FC3, the 
i386 version of glibc is acutally i486 (the name of RPM package is 
slightly "incorrect"), so it does have NPTL support and things are 
working correctly (unless you really have Intel 80386 procesor, in which 
case things are not working at all because your glibc uses i486 
instruction set).
