I've ran into this problem occasionally when I goof up and delete a folder 
from the filesystem rather than using cyradm (usually when I'm trying to 
restore a folder for a user).

What I have done in the past is:

1. Create the missing folder in the filesystem by hand.
2. Copy the cyrus.header file from the user's INBOX into the folder.
3. Set the folder and cyrus.header permissions and ownership correctly for 
cyrus.
4. Run "su cyrus -c '/usr/local/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -f -r user.username'".
5. Run "su cyrus -c '/usr/local/cyrus/bin/quota -f user.username'".
6. Using cyradm, delete the folder.
