You may have to specify a From address for the response.  E.g.,

require ["vacation"];

vacation
	:days 3
	:addresses ["t2 at greatexcursions.com"]
	:from "nathanael at gnat.ca"
	:subject "Out of Office"
"Hello? Auto responder.";

You might also need to put this in a test condition such as:

if address :matches "From" "*@gnat.ca" {
    vacation
	:days 3
	:addresses "t2 at greatexcursions.com"
	:from "nathanael at gnat.ca"
	:subject "Out of Office"
"Hello? Auto responder.";
}

It is also possible the mailbox needs to be a user mailbox.  I had to 
create an auto-responder for a mailbox, and for some reason that now 
escapes me I had to create a user account instead of a "Shared Folder." 
  But, I don't recall why, and it may have had to do with unique names 
in our account management system, instead of anything Cyrus related.
