That's "normal", ignore it for now.

                       ^^^^^^

See my commentary in a direct response earlier.  Do you have all credentials in
/etc/shadow (you had "sasl_pwcheck_method: shadow" previous to this last post)?

How are permissions on /etc/passwd,shadow?  Did you try out 

  sasl_pwcheck_method: pwcheck

and start the pwcheck authentication daemon?  Note that cyrus cannot access
/etc/shadow natively due to permission restrictions, you'd have to relax them
or use pwcheck.
