Is this an Admin user? If a normal user creates a new folder it should  
be created on the same
backend+partition as the inbox of the user.

Options in imapd.conf don't contain space. Not sure if it matters in this case

> server list:imapbe1.*** imapbe2.***

see above

> partition-default: /var/spool/cyrus/mail
> altnamespace: yes
> unixhierarchysep: no
> lmtp_downcase_rcpt: yes
> admins: cyrus root murder
> proxyservers: cyrus murder

quoting man imapd.conf
proxyservers: <none>

A list of users and groups that are allowed to proxy for other users,  
separated by spaces. Any user listed in this will be allowed to login  
for any other user: use with caution. In a standard murder this option  
should ONLY be set on backends. DO NOT SET on frontends or things  
won’t work properly.
