Moving to dotted usernames

[Julian Pilfold-Bagwell]

Hi list,

I have a running cyrus server that I need to switch to unixhierarchysep 
as I'm being asked to change our mail scheme to include full stops.  The 
authentication backend for this is sasldb2.

As I understand it from the documentation,  setting "unixhierarchysep 1" 
in imapd.conf should be enough as the backend handling of folders stays 
the same but cyrus translates the . to ^ .  I've backed up the mailboxes 
and the databases and set the 1 in imap.conf but when restarting, cyrus 
fails on importing cyrus-imapd databases.  I've searched for solutions 
but the suggestions always seem to be that there will be no problem.

Is there anything I'm missing?

Thanks,

Julian
