 the problem is that lmtp always gives me an connection refused error.
 
 This is from /etc/postfix/master.cf

 it works with mailbox_transport = cyrus which seems strange to me as deliver
 itself now connects to the cyrus lmtpd socket without any problems.

Hmmm, strange. I am not sure, if lmtp of postfix is able to access
files beyond of /var/spool/postfix.

Anyway, I am running lmtp chrooted and my main.cf looks like this:

mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:public/lmtp

cyrus.conf

lmtpunix  cmd=lmtpd listen=/var/spool/postfix/public/lmtp prefork=1

But take also care, that your cyrus master process is realy
running. What shows up in /var/log/messages?

 i´ve some strange problem with delivering local mail to my imap box. I´m
 using a SuSE Linux 7.1 distribution with the preinstalled postfix and
 cyrus-imapd (2.0.12, together with the latest SASL package) which i compiled
 myself. Mailbox_transport is set to cyrus and cyrus is set up in master.cf
 to call deliver. This can work for several days but then i found my
 mailqueue full with messages for localhost and lots of hanging deliver
 processes. All the deliver processes are waiting in the read system call. I
 had to stop cyrus and postfix, kill all deliver processes and then start the
 services again. This will empty the queue until it happens next.
 
 I´ve no idea if the problem is caused by cyrus or postfix.

I am just wondering, why you do not use LMTP delivery.
