Where are you located when you restart master?  Are you in a directory
that is readable by the Cyrus user?

This is very likely a result of a bug in master.  It should chdir to a
directory that is readable by the Cyrus user before it changes UID to
that user.  Otherwise, attempts to determine the current directory
will fail.
