>From the versions I know you are using my rpms (or those RedHat now ships
with RHEL, which are based on mine). In recent packages, I have enabled
idled by default. Usually rpm handles the needed change on upgrade, but
you somehow prevented this from happening. This means you have to make the
change in cyrus.conf by hand. Just enable the line

# idled cmd="idled"

like this

idled cmd="idled"

and no error shows up again.
