Just for the archives: I managed to find an alternative solution to my 
problem. I ended up analysing the output of ctl_mboxlist -d and then 
writing a bit of perl to generate an output file with the same format 
for just the mailboxes I was interested in changing but with no ACLs. I 
then fed the resulting file into ctl_mboxlist -u and as if by magic the 
job was done :)


HTH,
