At this point you might like to consider using the cyrus mbpath
command to find the user's mail directory.  You're running as root,
so this should be OK.  You'd certainly need to use something like
mbpath if you've set things like:

# Hash everything in sight.
fulldirhash: yes
hashimapspool: yes

in /etc/imapd.conf.
