I managed to do it somehow some time ago. First I had an erroneous
proxyservers option in the frontend imapd.conf. After having that
removed it started to work. Almost. The algorithm just miscalculated
the freespace response received from the backend servers and gave
somewhat random results.

I reported the bug(?) here and in the bugzilla (#3225). No one
reacted. So - I'm not sure what's the situation with this feature. I'm
about to write my own script for this purpose, finding the most
suitable backend and partition.

And BTW, it would be nice to have the replication working when moving
users across partitions...
