I don't use one. It also depends on what version of cyrus you use, AFAIK
the O'Reilly book is a bit outdated (up to cyrus-1.6.x only?).
You should verify that
a) /var/spool/imap/ (where the user data reside normally) is also owned
by the correct user and
b) you are really logged in as the cyrus admin user.
When answering, please provide version, /etc/cyrus.conf and /etc/imapd.conf.
For example there can be errors in /etc/imapd.conf disabling your admin
account. I once put more than one user in there and separated them with
a "," which resulted in no admin user working any more (it has to be simple
whitespaces, forget about ",").
