You do realize you've migrated from a fossilized version of Cyrus to  
an antique version of Cyrus?

You can get very good packages of near-current Cyrus versions for  
either RHEL/CentOS or openSUSE.

In 2.3.x these are in {metadatadir}/user/{user} either that or the  
equivalent hashed value.  But I think these same seen files are used  
for any the seen state of any folder provided shared-seen-state isn't  
enabled on the folder [does 2.2.x even support shared seen state?].

Yes, that seems correct.

Did you change how namespaces are handled when you upgraded?  Just a  
guess.  Cyrus 2.1.x is *SO OLD* I have only the vaguest memories how  
to admin that - it is quite a different [and in every way inferior]  
beast than the very nice 2.3 and 2.4 editions.
