trouble with cyrus

[Mark Hannessen]

I am new to cyrus and I ran into some trouble..

when trying to start cyrus ( with -D ) it reports the following error:

ctl_cyrusdb: unable to sync environment
ctl_cyrusdb: unable to archive environment
ctl_cyrusdb: unable to sync environment
ctl_cyrusdb: unable to archive environment

when I look at the logs I see the following:
