In fact, other commands are getting the same problem:
localhost.retrix.com> setinfo motd "Hello world." setinfo: Permission denied
I ran the mkimap program as the user "cyrus", and all the permissions appear to be correct:
# ls -al /var/imap total 24 drwxr-x--- 10 cyrus cyrus 512 Oct 22 12:55 . drwxr-xr-x 24 root wheel 512 Oct 21 14:36 .. -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 144 Oct 22 10:25 annotations.db drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Oct 22 10:25 db drwx------ 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Oct 22 12:55 db.backup1 drwx------ 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Oct 22 12:25 db.backup2 drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Oct 22 10:19 log -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 144 Oct 22 10:26 mailboxes.db drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Oct 22 10:19 msg drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Oct 22 13:08 proc drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Oct 22 10:19 ptclient drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Oct 22 10:25 socket

I've tried running the "master" process in debug mode (-D), but it does not give me any information as to why the permission is being denied.
I've searched the archives high and low, and haven't been able to find what could possibly be the problem.
Any experts out there willing to field a guess? If all the cyrus folders are owned by the user "cyrus", and the server runs as the user "cyrus", and each folder and file have owner write-ablility, how could there possibly be a "permission denied" message?
In my case, here's the output of the "ver" command:

I've just installed cyrus-imapd-2.2.8 using the srpm from http://www.invoca.ch/pub/packages/cyrus-imapd/ and I am trying to create the initial user mailboxes.
My imapd.conf looks like this:
configdirectory: /var/lib/imap partition-default: /var/spool/imap admins: cyrus sievedir: /var/lib/imap/sieve sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail hashimapspool: true sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd sasl_mech_list: PLAIN tls_cert_file: /usr/share/ssl/certs/cyrus-imapd.pem tls_key_file: /usr/share/ssl/certs/cyrus-imapd.pem tls_ca_file: /usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt virtdomains: yes defaultdomain: <mydomain.com>
I ran /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/mkimap as cyrus.
Then I tried to use cyradm as "cyrus" to try to create a mailbox. I got the following error:
-bash-2.05b$ cyradm localhost IMAP Password:
localhost.localdomain> cm user.test createmailbox: Permission denied
Any thoughts?
