I've been working on and off with this issue for the past two weeks and I 
think we're finally close to solving it. Every time I've tried to debug a 
portion of this, the problem just seemed to get deeper and deeper :-)

I've also been slightly improving the performance of the code - previously the 
shares were getting saved/synched every time a change was made, such as 
updating the ACL of a single user. This is no longer the case - the share is 
saved/synched once, when $share->save() is called. I've also optimised this 
to only save if a change actually occurred - previously the ACLs between the 
shares and IMAP folders were getting reproduced every time a page was loaded, 
and of course every time an ACL was touched the share was saved, which lead 
to two or more redundant modify hook calls.

This leads onto the issue of saving shares; every time a share is saved the 
_horde_hook_share_modify() hook is called, which ultimately ends up calling 
Kolab::synchroniseShare(). I think this function is the cause of the 
self-destruct problem. Currently it's only able to handle synchronising a 
share to a "local" IMAP folder (i.e. a child of INBOX/) - this then obviously 
causes problems when a remote share is saved/synchronised by a user.

I'm going away for the weekend this afternoon, and I'll be back on Tuesday so 
hopefully this will be resolved next week sometime.
