Building cyrus-imapd-2.2.12 on 64 bit linux

[Rob Tanner]

Once I built and installed from the source RPM, when I start and stop 
the cyrus-omapd server, I get the following errors:

Exporting cyrus-imapd databases: runuser: warning: cannot change 
directory to /dev/null: Not a directory
Importing cyrus-imapd databases: runuser: warning: cannot change 
directory to /dev/null: Not a directory

In /etc/init.d/cyrus-imapd I see the following lines.  Something is not 
right and I'm not sure what.

$RUNUSER - cyrus -c "umask 166 ; /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cvt_cyrusdb_all > 
${CONFIGDIRECTORY}/rpm/db_import.log 2>&1" < /dev/null
$RUNUSER - cyrus -c "umask 166 ; /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cvt_cyrusdb_all 
export > ${CONFIGDIRECTORY}/rpm/db_export.log 2>&1" < /dev/null

Thanks,
Rob
