sort of solved...kludgy

su - cyrus -c '/usr/lib/cyrus-imap/reconstruct -rfx user.craig' ended up
fixing the subscription issue.

created a sub mailbox for user.craig.saved ended up causing above
'reconstruct' command to find the subfolders within 'saved' directory as
the 'saved' folder (and probably the 'logs' folder) were created by a
mail client application and didn't have the cyrus.header, cyrus.cache
and cyrus.index files in them so the 'reconstruct' command didn't
descend beyond that folder.

I suppose I can always try the 'yum update' which will update db4 stuff
for the final adventure but not tonight.

Thanks for the help Simon
