Here's where I come clean.
I spent a pleasant afternoon last week,
fighting a similar imap problem.
Every tine I tried to run cyradm, it just spat back at me.
Looked through every configuration I could think of.
Turns out that inetd wasn't switched on..
(insert donkey braying noises)
Im my defence, it was a SuSE machine, and I HAD been fooling
with Yast.
Once inetd was started, then it started working again.

Xander, are you sure that imap is in the xinetd configuration?
