Your 'configdirectory' option in /etc/imapd.conf should point to the
location of your cyrus database files, including the mailboxes database.
That directory, and all files underneath it, should be owned by cyrus:mail.

If permissions look correct, please provide the contents of your
/etc/imapd.conf file, and a directory listing of the 'configdirectory'
directory.
