email in shared folders not showing up with multiple backend servers

[Robert Spellman <rspell@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm in the process of moving users from back end servers running cyrus 
2.2.12 to 2.4.6.  Users who have been moved over can no longer see the 
content of shared folders if the shared folder resides on the 2.2.12 
server.  The front end and murder servers are still running 2.2.12.  The 
shared folders show up in Thunderbird when trying to subscribe to them, 
but they are greyed out in the "All Folders" pane, and the next time you 
go into subscribe, they are unchecked again.

Oddly enough, we are running imp for a webmail client, and they continue 
to see the content of the shared folders.

Here's my imapd.conf from the backend server:
