MoveUser command in Verson 6.3 is weird 1

Question

Hi everyone. ^^
I have one question about "MoveUser" command in mail server version 6.3.
I upgraded one of my store server to version 6.3.
When I moved users from version 6.3 to 5.2 with 6.3 MoveUser command, it didn't work. but reverse case (5.2 to 6.3 with 5.2 MoveUser command) was fine.
Here are "imsimta version" output.
ms9 is version 6.3 and ms8 is 5.2.
ep_ms8: /mail08/iplanet/server5/msg-ms8 #./imsimta version
iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 Patch 2 (built Jul 14 2004)
libimta.so 5.2 Patch 2 (built 19:30:12, Jul 14 2004)
SunOS ep_ms8 5.8 Generic_117350-55 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire
ep_ms9: /mail09/iplanet/server6.3/sbin# ./imsimta version
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.3-8.01 (built Dec 16 2008; 32bit)
libimta.so 6.3-8.01 (built 17:17:19, Dec 16 2008; 32bit)
SunOS ep_ms9 5.9 Generic_122300-29 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V490
I made script as follow
$1 is uid, $2 is source maildrop and $3 is destination maildrop
a) command is the command to move users from ms9 to ms8 in ms9 mail server using 6.3 MoveUser command.
b) command is the command to move users from ms8 to ms9 in ms9 mail server using 6.3 MoveUser command.
a) /mail09/iplanet/server6.3/sbin/MoveUser -l "ldap://mldap.mydomain.com:389/o=mydomain??sub?(uid=$1)" -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password -s ms9.mydomain.com:8341 -x imapproxy -p password -d ms8.mydomain.com:8341 -a imapproxy -v password -o $2 -m $3 -A -F
b) /mail09/iplanet/server6.3/sbin/MoveUser -l "ldap://mldap.mydomain.com:389/o=mydomain??sub?(uid=$1)" -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password -s ms8.mydomain.com:8341 -x imapproxy -p password -d ms9.mydomain.com:8341 -a imapproxy -v password -o $2 -m $3 -A -F
And I made proxyuser in LDAP and set in both mail servers.
Hera are mail config
ep_ms9: /mail09/iplanet/server6.3/sbin # ./getconf | grep store.admins
store.admins = "admin imapproxy"
ep_ms8: /mail08/iplanet/server5/msg-ms8 # ./getconf | grep store.admins
store.admins = "admin imapproxy"
From here I captured screen MoveUser command output
1) In server ms9, check mailbox user called "e11.test"
./mboxutil -l -p "user/e11.test/INBOX"
msgs Kbytes last msg partition quotaroot mailbox
4 1388 2009/05/29 16:11 store901 no quota user/e11.test/INBOX <= 4 messages
In Server ms8
# ./mboxutil -l -p "user/e11.test/INBOX"
msgs Kbytes last msg partition quotaroot mailbox <== No mailbox made
2) Runnign MoveUser script to move ms9 to ms8.
ep_ms9: /mail09/mailsrv/movetest # ./N_ms9-ms8 e11.test store901 store801
ldapHost = mldap.mydomain.com
ldapPort = 389
ldapBaseDN = o=mydomain
ldapScope = 2
ldapFilter = (uid=e11.test)
ldapBindDN= cn=Directory Manager
srcMailHost = ms9.mydomain.com
destMailHost = ms8.mydomain.com
sMailAdm = imapproxy
dMailAdm = imapproxy

=======================================================
ms9.mydomain.com:{store901\e11.test} --> ms8.mydomain.com:{store801\e11.test}
dn: uid=e11.test,ou=regular,ou=people,o=mydomain
changetype: modify
mailhost: ms8.mydomain.com
mailmessagestore: store801
*Server responded [Mailbox does not exist]*
Please check if e11.test exists on destination mail server: ms8.mydomain.com
ep_ms9: /mail09/mailsrv/movetest #
3) So I made INBOX manually using IMAP command logon as proxy user in ms8.
# telnet ms8.mydomain.com 8341
Trying 203.254.225.102...
Connected to ms8.mydomain.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

Now INBOX was made
# ./mboxutil -l -p "user/e11.test/INBOX"
msgs Kbytes last msg partition quotaroot mailbox
0 0 none store801 no quota user/e11.test/INBOX

Answer 1

4) Running again script and the resutlt wad fine. So I assumed that IMAP in Version6.3 can not made INBOX.
ep_ms9: /mail09/mailsrv/movetest #./N_ms9-ms8 e11.test store901 store801
ldapHost = mldap.mydomain.com
ldapPort = 389
ldapBaseDN = o=mydomain

5) successfully e11.test mailbox moved to store801.
# ./mboxutil -l -p "user/e11.test/INBOX"
msgs Kbytes last msg partition quotaroot mailbox
4 1388 2009/06/01 16:00 store801 no quota user/e11.test/INBOX
6) When I move from ms8 to ms9 with 6.3 MoveUser command, I got an error.
./N_ms8-ms9 e11.test store801 store901
ldapHost = mldap.mydomain.com
ldapPort = 389

7) So this time, I used mail5.2 patch2 "MoveUser" command in ms8 store server, the result was fine.
The "ms8-ms9" script is the same as "N_ms8-ms9" and "N_ms9-ms8", of cource deprecated options were used such as -b option
ep_ms8: /mail08/iplanet/server5/bin/msg/admin/bin/movetest # ./ms8-ms9 e11.test store801 store901
ldapHost = mldap.mydomain.com
ldapPort = 389
ldapBaseDN = o=mydomain
ldapScope = 2
ldapFilter = (uid=e11.test)
ldapBindDN= cn=Directory Manager
Destination ldap host = rldap.mydomain.com
Destination ldap bind DN = cn=Directory Manager

8) When I get failed MoveUser command from ms8 to ms9 using 6.3 , I tried to make INBOX with IMAP command in ms9 server, I've got an error.
My assuming which IMAP in Version6.3 can not made INBOX waswrong. MoveUser command is weird.
ep_ms9: /mail09/iplanet/server6.3/sbin # telnet ms9.mydomain.com 8341
Trying 203.XXX.XXX.XXX...
Connected to ms9.mydomain.com.

Connection to ms9.mydomain.com closed by foreign host.
Conclutions are
- move user from 6.3 to 5.2 and from 5.2 to 6.3 did not work with 6.3 MoveUser command
- move user from 6.3 to 5.2 and 5.2 to 6.3 work fine with 5.2 MoveUser command
My test is wronfg or MoveUser has a bug.
Any suggestion and idea will be welcomed.
Thanks.
