----
suggest that you simply set in imapd.conf

admins: cyrus
unixhierarchysep: 1

then restart cyrus-imapd

and then log in as cyrus, I do it this way...

su - cyrus -c '/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyradm localhost'
but you could probably do
/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyradm --user cyrus

and then you should be able to create the mailboxes.
