dovecot - Mar 2006 - convert tool

Trying out the new convert tool, to migrate from mbox to maildir.
Using this syntax ( both inbox and folders are in user's home dir, in mbox
format )


./convert-tool pinetest/export/home2/pinetest \
mbox:/export/home2/pinetest/:INBOX=/export/home2/pinetest/mbox \
maildir:/export/home2/pinetest/Maildir/

I get this error.

"Error: Mailbox conversion: Couldn't create mailbox home/Trash
Error: Internal failure"


 Where does it get home/Trash from is hard to guess.
I'm not using any variables, every path explicitly says
"/export/home2/pinetest"

Any ideas ?

 From a previous post by Timo that I followed, and it worked (watch line 
breaks):

src/plugin/convert-tool user /home/user 
mbox:/home/user/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u maildir:/home/user/Maildir

Just guessing, but I don't see that you have the "user" name after
"convert-tool" and before the home directory.

There is also a wiki entry IIRC.
