All of the subdirs are now created on the fly by the services (you'll 
notice that all of the hash directory crap is also gone from mkimap). 
So as long as the cyrus user has permissions to create sievedir, it 
along with the hash directories and user directories will be created as 
necessary.

I just tested this myself (again) on a clean system.
