I have the same problem with Cyrus 3.0.5 reconstruct running on a
FreeBSd-11.1 host.  Even with the -f option it still does not recurse.

sudo -u cyrus /usr/local/cyrus/sbin/reconstruct -r -f user.testuser

ll
/var/spool/imap/t/user/testuser_hll/delivery/imports/cyrus.index-rw-------
 1 cyrus  cyrus  96 Apr 27 09:13
/var/spool/imap/t/user/testuser_hll/delivery/imports/cyrus.index

rm /var/spool/imap/t/user/testuser_hll/delivery/imports/cyrus.index
remove
/var/spool/imap/t/user/testuser_hll/delivery/imports/cyrus.index? y

sudo -u cyrus /usr/local/cyrus/sbin/reconstruct -r -f user.testuser_hll

ll /var/spool/imap/t/user/testuser_hll/delivery/imports/cyrus.index
ls: /var/spool/imap/t/user/testuser_hll/delivery/imports/cyrus.index:
No such file or directory

sudo -u cyrus /usr/local/cyrus/sbin/reconstruct -r -f
user.testuser_hll/delivery/imports/cyrus.index

ll /var/spool/imap/t/user/testuser_hll/delivery/imports/cyrus.index
ls: /var/spool/imap/t/user/testuser_hll/delivery/imports/cyrus.index:
No such file or directory


Clearly either I am not using reconstruct correctly or it is not
working as it did formerly.  I expected that the missing index file
would be recreated by reconstruct and it was not.  In fact on other
mailboxes in the same maildir tree I can see absolutely no evidence
that reconstruct does anything at all.
