Possible virtual domain problem showing up in cyradm -- corrected

Hello,

Please ignore the first one I sent of this, there was a critical line that I typed wrong so I am resending with that line fixed.

I'm concerned, perhaps for no reason, but I get that way when I don't fully understand what I am looking at so I am hoping someone can either point out what's wrong or say it's all as it should be.

This is on a brand new installation of cyrus 2.3.14 setup with "virtual domains", alternate hierarchy separator ("/" instead of "."), full file hashing and it authenticates via a MySQL DB.

Before starting cyradm I created the mailboxes user/Reg at seows.com and user/Sales at seows.com (and their children) through my own web application I wrote just for cyrus IMAP (basic mailbox admin. only for my users create/delete/rename/change password and that's all).

This is the cyradm session I just had and there are some things that don't make sense so I have put my questions in  the session at the points where it seems strange to me...

>cyradm -u root
cyradm> lm *
listmailbox: no connection to server

root is a global admin. I thought logging on as a global user meant you did not specify a domain but when you don't you get this error. Next logon as global admin but use default domain.

cyradm> exit

a>cyradm -u root at localhost localhost
Password: 

Hopefully this is now the global admin login and I can work on all domain accounts.

localhost> lm
localhost> lm user/*

I thought this was supposed to list all accounts but it looks like it wants to ignore them all when you don't specify a domain.

localhost> lm user/*@seowebsales.com
user/Reg/Drafts at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)    
user/Reg/Sent at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)      
user/Reg/Trash at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)     
user/Reg at seowebsales.com (\HasChildren)             
user/Sales/Drafts at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)  
user/Sales/Sent at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)    
user/Sales/Trash at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)   
user/Sales at seowebsales.com (\HasChildren)           

Fair enough, this works.

localhost> lm user/*@localhost
localhost> lm user/*@neutrino
localhost> cm user/root at localhost
localhost> cm user/cyrus at localhost

I've just created two users in the default domain, is that going cause problems because you are also supposed be able to use these without a domain? 

Could I have done "cm user/root" and "cm user/cyrus" and would this be the more correct way to do this?

localhost> lm user/*@localhost
user/cyrus (\HasNoChildren)

Why is "root at localhost" that I just created not listed?

localhost> lm *@localhost
user/Reg/Drafts at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)    
user/Reg/Sent at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)      
user/Reg/Trash at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)     
user/Reg at seowebsales.com (\HasChildren)             
user/Sales/Drafts at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)  
user/Sales/Sent at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)    
user/Sales/Trash at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)   
user/Sales at seowebsales.com (\HasChildren)           
user/cyrus (\HasNoChildren)                         

Is this right? To show all mailboxes in all domains you do "lm *@localhost" or is there something wrong with my setup?

localhost> lm *@localhost
user/Reg/Drafts at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)    
user/Reg/Sent at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)      
user/Reg/Trash at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)     
user/Reg at seowebsales.com (\HasChildren)             
user/Sales/Drafts at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)  
user/Sales/Sent at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)    
user/Sales/Trash at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)   
user/Sales at seowebsales.com (\HasChildren)           
user/cyrus (\HasNoChildren)

localhost> lm *
INBOX (\HasNoChildren)  

localhost> lm
INBOX (\HasNoChildren)  

Why is there the special INBOX here but not for each of my created mailboxes in the various domains? 
Is this how it is supposed to be?

localhost> cm user/support at seows.com

Let's create a non-default domain mailbox through cyradm and see if we get the all important INBOX.

localhost> lm *@seows.com
user/Reg/Drafts at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)    
user/Reg/Sent at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)      
user/Reg/Trash at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)     
user/Reg at seowebsales.com (\HasChildren)             
user/Sales/Drafts at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)  
user/Sales/Sent at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)    
user/Sales/Trash at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)   
user/Sales at seowebsales.com (\HasChildren)           
user/support at seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)

Nope, no other INBOXes. Perhaps I misread how INBOXes are meant to work, is there only meant to one for the whole installation?

localhost> lm 
INBOX (\HasNoChildren)  
localhost> lm *
INBOX (\HasNoChildren)  
localhost> lm *@*

Just double checking for more mailboxes but all looks the same.

That's it. Does this look right? I'm gearing up to make my server live soon so I need to make sure everything is working as it should.

Thanks heaps! in advance.

Oh, and in case it's useful here is my configuration:
