Problem solved: the imap daemon forking from master, was looking for the imapd.conf
in the wrong place, and died unexpectedly.
My configure specifies --prefix=/sonicle, and any cyrus daemon usually looks at /sonicle/etc
Looks like last 4-5 source distros do not get the default of PREFIX/etc, so I had to force it
through --sysconfdir=/sonicle/etc

Sorry, I can't help you here as we only do packaging on build hosts and
then install resulting RPMs on production systems.
What I'm sure is that you have to convert away from BDB before installing
new binaries, because they won't do anything with any BDB file.
I have never used NFS in this case.
