For documentation on the mailbox format, see:

http://www.cyrusimap.org/docs/cyrus-imapd/2.4.10/internal/database-formats.php

and

/imap/mboxlist.h in the source:

/* flags for types of mailboxes */
#define MBTYPE_REMOTE (1<<0) /* Not on this server (part is remote host) */
#define MBTYPE_RESERVE (1<<1) /* Reserved [mupdate/imapd] /
                    Rename Target [imapd] (part is normal, but
                    you are not allowed to create this mailbox,
                    even though it doesn't actually exist */
#define MBTYPE_NETNEWS (1<<2) /* Netnews Mailbox - NO LONGER USED */
#define MBTYPE_MOVING (1<<3) /* Mailbox in mid-transfer (part is
remotehost!localpart) */
#define MBTYPE_DELETED (1<<4) /* Mailbox has been deleted, but not yet
cleaned up */


It appears that mailcluster1 believes a mailbox transfer was initiated, but
has not yet completed (or failed).

You can use cyr_dbtool to manually edit the entry in your mailboxes.db, or
remove it. See:
