cyradm dm does not delete this folder (and its files) from the filesystem.

Thanks to your suggestion I found a procedure that works:
_ store away D's cyrus.* files;
_ sam "user.A.B.D" root lrswpcdai
_ dm "user.A.B.D" (as said this doesn't delete anything)
_ cm "user.A.B.D" (this overwrites cyrus.*)
_ restore the old cyrus.* files.

Only thing, I'll have to script this, since I've got a lot of 
problematic folders...

I'm using "user.A": this is correct for my server.

Access rights are not the problem.

I know TB is flaky in this regard, so I used a webmail from the start.


Thanks a lot for your help.
