NO, you shouldn't run this as root!
If you want to delete a cyrus mailbox you have to give the cyrus admin
user the rights to do so (as someone else already stated).

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Try to find out where you cyrus creates it's lmtp socket and point your
postfix config to it.

I don't know Debian but I think it should come with some docs to get
things to work. (Ubuntu ins mainly a copy of Debian so the same should
apply there as well). Maybe some Debian/Ubuntu user can point you to the
right docs.
