I tried running it when logged in as the "cyrus" OS-user and I get the same 
error as with my original command.

I did actually test where sieve scripts end up when running as "root", and 
it's in the r/user/root/... folder under sievedir.

I hope one of the devs actually see this thread and can comment on what can be 
done.
I think the issue is caused by changes on the server end which is causing an 
issue with updating sieve-scripts.
