I've never run reconstruct from within cyradm, so cannot speak to that,
although I will note that in my version (2.4.17) the help fro cyradm
says this (emphasis mine):
reconstruct reconstruct mailbox /(if supported)/
Look for the binary 'reconstruct' on your system. On a
Fedora/RedHat/CentOS system it might be here:
/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/reconstruct
You should run this as the cyrus user. For example, as root do this:
$ su cyrus -c "/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/reconstruct -r -f user.USER"
If you don't run the command as the syruc user, the perms on the files
(if any) it creates will be wrong.
Cheers,
