Yes.  They were both setup with the wrong values for the environment
variable "pwd".  From memory your path contained libexec.  The rpm I
installed from put the unhacked scripts in contrib and had the wrong
paths as well.  Details are as follows
inboxfer and foldertransfer:
#$pwd       = "/usr/libexec/cyrus";
$pwd       = "/usr/share/cyrus-imapd/contrib";

Sieve is really beginning to aggravate me.  I am having a hell of a time
with it and am not succeeding in finding a good website with examples
and explanations of syntax.

Does altnamespace make a difference??  I took off INBOX. at the
beginning of each destination and some things seem to go where I want
them and others do not.  I am also getting email in more than one box. 
It's somewhat frustrating.

I just want to drag and drop an email into a folder in my evolution
client and have it be visible in my wifes outlook client right now.  The
problem I am having is client side.  How do I subscribe to it. 
Evolution is not letting me regardless of ACL because of my lack of
understanding of how to see or write to it.

I've create other tree structures than user, but how do I see them.  I
can't get anything int them or see them. I evan tried editing the .sub
file on the server and still nothing showed in the client.  Evolution
shows the beginnings of this but it does not seem complete.
