I think you have the BerkeleyDB problem which has been discussed on this
list again and again. Looks like your new box uses another BDB version and
your db files are in the wrong format. You have to somehow convert those
files to the version you need, there are tools to do that in the BDB
distribution I think. Otherwise try to convert to skiplist on the old
server, skiplist does not have the "BerkeleyDB" problem.

Thnx. I did a lot of additional googling and looking up mailarchives, but this
berkeley-stuff always gave me a headache and I did not manage to find a proper
documentation or do it on my own.
But I found another solution to export the mailboxes-file on the old machine and
importing it on the new installation with the ctl_mboxfile-tool.
* ctl_mboxfile -d on the old installation
* empty config/db on the new installation (or just dont copy it from the old one)
* create an empty mailboxes.db-file on the new installation
* ctl_mboxfile -u on the new installation
This will create a skipfile-style mailboxes.db - file for me. Closely monitoring
syslog will help to detect problems. I put a documentation of my
migration-process online at http://www.goldfisch.at/knowwiki/migrate_cyrus
best,
peter
