unable to delete corrupted mail box on cyrus v2.3.16

[Sophie Loewenthal]

thanks an example cyrus.header in there ( e.g mine ) contained, 

# cat ../sophie^loewenthal/cyrus.header 
Cyrus mailbox header
"The best thing about this system was that it had lots of goals."

The kat.long now contains this, but had an error on recreate,
# cat cyrus.header 
Cyrus mailbox header
"The best thing about this system was that it had lots of goals."

localhost> reconstruct -r user/kat.long
reconstruct: Mailbox has an invalid format

and Delete mailbox gave me, 
deletemailbox: Permission denied
