SASL/sieve authentication issue

[Forrest Aldrich]

I'm having a problem with authentication.  I can get/read/send mail fine 
through Cyrus, Sendmail.  But when I try to authenticate to sieve, it's 
failing.  This started happening after updating Cyrus on FreeBSD-7.0, 
where I currently have:

cyrus-imapd-2.3.11
cyrus-sasl-2.1.22
cyrus-sasl-saslauthd-2.1.22

I have SASL using the sasldb, that all seems to work.   But I can't 
authenticate via "imtest" at all.  And the results below "might" be a 
clue as to what's wrong, and I hope someone can point it out - it's 
probably obvious and I'm just overlooking it.

I'm using Smartsieve to manage my scripts, and this is where I first 
noticed the problem.  I've tried every mech that is enabled with imtest, 
and no luck. 

That I can get my mail via IMAP (over SSL) and not get imtest to work is 
strange.

Thanks in advance....
