Looking at the code, that will generate squat indexes for all mailboxes 
matching user/*/*, which will match user/dpc22/foo, but not user/dpc22.

I suggest that you try: "/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/squatter -r user" or just
"/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/squatter".

That's two commands: cd run as a background task without any arguments, 
followed by "BdcF0wXpBdUF6g-", which isn't a valid command on your system.

You need to quote the & character. Something like:
   cd "&BdcF0wXpBdUF6g-" or
   cd \&BdcF0wXpBdUF6g-
