----
reconstruct only reconstructs folders with the cyrus.cache,
cyrus.header, cyrus.index files in the directory. I'm not sure if you
can just touch those files to create them or copy them from another
directory (which will surely lead to errors), but if they aren't
present, they won't reconstruct.
