If you want to have a folder recognized by reconstruct, create a new, 
empty cyrus.header file.  Reconstruct will populate it with the correct 
information for that mailbox.  Don't forget to set the ownership and perms 
as well.  Here is what I do when restoring messages for users into a 
"RESTORE" folder:

touch RESTORE/cyrus.header
chown cyrus:mail RESTORE/cyrus.header
chmod 600 RESTORE/cyrus.header
reconstruct -x -f user.username
quota -f user.username
