YES!!! So I have been working at this for a couple weeks
now. I have pretty much cornered how all this works. 

Basically doing anything outside of Kolab admin that
requires command line, means you need to focus on every
last detail, especially file permissions. I have found that
if the perms are off at all things don't work consistantly.
Once that is set it works great!

Basically, it has to be like this:

[perms]

  > chown -R kolab-r:kolab-r \
  >   /kolab/var/imap/spool/{DOMAIN}/{USERNAME}

[mode]
directories (drwx--S---):
  > chmod -R chmod a-rwx,g+s,g-x,u+rwx \
  >   /kolab/var/imap/spool/{DOMAIN}/{USERNAME}

files including cyrus.* meta files (-rw-------): 
  > chmod -R chmod a-rwx,u=rw \
  >   /kolab/var/imap/spool/{DOMAIN}/{USERNAME}

I wasn't sure how to make command line figure out perms of
dirs vs files.. so I wrote a CLI php script for it. Works
great!


So I will be posting my findings on the wiki, plus have
writting a bunch of CLI tools in PHP, commandline. These
handle automating fixes for all sorts of things... figure
that they can maybe work there way into the kolab admins at
some point if people are interested in mailbox maintenance
tools.
