Assuming this is a bug, can you set an 'anyone p' acl on the mailbox
(parent and subfolder) to see if it delivers?

Do you have any unusual characters in your folder names (like a dot?). Can
you attempt to deliver to a 'top level' folder underneath user/john/?

does the parent and subfolder show up in the output of 'ctl_mboxlist -d'?
Does your folder list look sane if you connect via an IMAP client?
