Ok, here's how I fixed it.  I was still able to get the mailbox database via 
the command "/kolab/bin/ctl_mboxlist -d > mailboxlist.txt".  Then I edited 
the file to correct the ACLs as necessary, then reloaded the file with the 
opposite command "/kolab/bin/ctl_mboxlist -u < mailboxlist.txt".  I basically 
used the wiki page 
http://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Backups_for_kolab2#IMAP_store_recovery_.28cyrus.29 
as a guide.
