I loaded mailboxes.db using ctl_mboxlist -u <mailboxes.dump  where
mailboxes.dump is a dump of the mailboxes on my old server.  I then try
reconstruct -rf user.* and no mailboxes under /var/spool/imap are
reconstructed?  The mailboxes.db contains the mailboxes as I can see them
if I do a ctl_mboxlist -d >mailboxes.dump2 . I see no messages in
/var/log/messages or /var/log/maillog.  Why aren't they created? 
unixhierarchysep is 0, the default of "."
