Permission denied creating mailboxes

I've just installed cyrus-imapd-2.2.8 using the srpm from 
http://www.invoca.ch/pub/packages/cyrus-imapd/ and I am trying to create 
the initial user mailboxes.

My imapd.conf looks like this:


configdirectory: /var/lib/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
admins: cyrus
sievedir: /var/lib/imap/sieve
sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail
hashimapspool: true
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN
tls_cert_file: /usr/share/ssl/certs/cyrus-imapd.pem
tls_key_file: /usr/share/ssl/certs/cyrus-imapd.pem
tls_ca_file: /usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
virtdomains: yes
defaultdomain: <mydomain.com>


I ran /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/mkimap as cyrus.

Then I tried to use cyradm as "cyrus" to try to create a mailbox. I got 
the following error:


-bash-2.05b$ cyradm localhost
IMAP Password:

localhost.localdomain> cm user.test
createmailbox: Permission denied


Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Mike Nuss
