Check for "space" at the end of the folder name. The columns are "tab"  
seperated.
Also you can try to use "reconstruct -r user.[redacted]" or
"reconstruct -u [redacted]"


=== !!! WARNING USE WITH CAUTION !!! ====

If you are sure that the folder does not exist anymore on the file system
and EVERTHING else failed you can try to remove the entries from the  
mailboxes.db.


====
#stop cyrus
#create backup of your mailboxes.db
ctl_mboxlist -d > /tmp/mboxlist
vi /tmp/mboxlist
ctl_mboxlist -u < /tmp/mboxlist
# Limit access to cyrus e.g. via firewall so that you can test
# if cyrus is running without any problem and nobody is  
creating/deleting folder
# or changing acls, so that you can use your backup of your  
mailboxes.db in case
# somthing went wrong
start cyrus
