For some reason that wouldn't happen recursively.   Before I got this 
reply from your, I cleared the directory, then one by one made all the 
folders and subfolders through my mail client, exactly as they were, 
restored the tarball, chmod the whole thing, then ran reconstruct, one 
by one, on each subfolder, something like

reconstruct user.hansdp.sent    and so on.

Took me about an hour but all is back to normal now (except which mails 
was read and which not, but that's minor.

Now I backup the cyrus directories in both /var/spool and /var/lib  :-)

Thanks for all the help, I've learned a lot about cyrus in the process...

Thanks
