Wait an minute.  Assuming you authenticated to the server as an admin, 
you have two sets of user INBOXes (jpt and s.schahm) and 3 shared 
folders INBOX.*.

The above ACLs are correct, assuming that you have defaultacl set to 
lrswipcda

I'm confused, the cyrus admin does *not* need access to user mailboxes 
for delivery to take place (at least for the INBOX).  What exactly as 
you trying to do.

What toplevel user INBOX?  As I said above, the INBOX.* mailboxes don't 
belong to anybody, they are shared and get defaultacl when they are 
created.  The user/<userid> mailboxes are the actual INBOXes and have 
the owner getting all rights by default.
