Problem with cyrus replication: failing to update user/mailbox

[Edward Prendergast]

Sorry - that was a typo in the command. I did ascertain that I should've
been using a username not a mailbox name and changed the command
accordingly, as you can see in the logs below. 

I'm not sure how to apply this information about the unix hierarchy
separator? Is this in reference to the copying of mailboxes or does this
pertain to transferring the user data?

-u takes usernames, not mailbox names.  Try -u info at client.office

Also note that before 2.3.10 there is some inconsistency in the use when 
using unix hierarchy seperator.
