Based on your setup example.net is not your default domain.  My guess is
you have 'virtualdomains: yes' and 127.0.0.1 resolves to
localhost.example.net.

For global admin you need to login as administrator at test.com:
cyradm --user administrator at test.com --auth login localhost

or

Set 'virtualdomains: userid'
