First backup its content :-)
Cyrus don't care of the filesystem structure, it look only for folder
named in mailboxes.db.
cyrreconstruct update mailboxes.db reading the filesystem tree.
But cyrreronstruct is a little broken wolking the filesystem tree.

Did you try to reconstruct the folder itself, not from the user's INBOX ?
Did you try to create a folder with the same name at the same place ?
Using your imap client or cyradmin ?

Do the folder show up doing a "ctl_mboxlist -d" ?
