# su - cyrus -c "strace -eopen reconstruct -r user.test"

open("/var/spool/imap/user/test/cyrus.header", O_RDWR) = 4
open("/var/spool/imap/user/test/cyrus.index", O_RDWR) = 5
...
open("/var/spool/imap/user/test/subfolder1/cyrus.header", O_RDWR) = 4
open("/var/spool/imap/user/test/subfolder1/cyrus.index", O_RDWR) = 5
...
open("/var/spool/imap/user/test/subfolder2/cyrus.header", O_RDWR) = 4
open("/var/spool/imap/user/test/subfolder2/cyrus.index", O_RDWR) = 5

Seems to work here.

Maybe you should give us some more information about your setup?
