db_recover returns without any error, even after setting DB_HOME.

*nod* after realising that the problem was with the Berkely DBs only, 
and that nuking tls_sessions and delivery database is no problem, I went 
ahead and did as you suggested. And Cyrus is up and running again 
without trouble.

Thank you very much for your help!
