Bron, Unfortunately I don't know how to write a script to do this. The old system was CentOS 5/x64, just like the new system. I believe it had the same cyrus-imapd & db4 RPMs, as I had patched a few weeks ago, but I cannot confirm. I will send you a tarball of this directory directly. I will try "reconstruct -rfx" with debug logging enabled in syslog tonight.
