Have you renamed your mailboxes.db after using -d and before using -u?
Otherwise ctl_mboxlist will import your dump into the existing mailboxes.db.

And are this exactly the commands you used?
I think
ctl_mboxlist -d >/tmp/mailboxes.txt
and
ctl_mboxlist -f /tmp/mailboxes.db.new -u </tmp/mailboxes.txt
should be used since both read/write to STDIN/OUT.
