[horde] Horde/Kolab: Unable to synchronise

[Oliver Geisler]

I'm running Horde 3.2-cvs (2006-01-10) together with a Kolab2 server 2.1 
(snap20051215). ... Well, I know running cvs snapshots isn't meant to be save 
but I guess my problem is more general.
The Kolab2 server seems to be running fine as Kontact and Outook2003 (via 
Troltec Connector) are working.
While horde installation i followed the instructions on 
http://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Kolab2_Installation_-_Horde
.. so I used Kolab backends for horde applications

Ok, here is the problem:
While logged in to horde as normal user (also as Administrator, but this user 
has no infrastructure on the Kolab server), I'm getting errors if horde tries 
to synchronize its groupware components (in the following case triggerd by 
accessing the Mail tab in the horde application):

Horde/Kolab: Unable to synchronise address book "Oliver Geisler's Address 
Book": NO, Permission denied 
.. this goes on for calendar and task list.

Here is the snapshot of the imap log on the server:

What makes me think is that the user horde-admin (administrator account) tries 
to login in context of synchronizing groupware folders for a normal user. 
Does anybody have a hint on that issue? 
I can acces users Inbox and groupware folders (e.g. Contacts) through horde 
webinterface and read the mails. So I guess it's not a real permission 
problem, but rather a problem of the user that is asking for the 
synchronisation (in my case the horde-admin). More or less I guess it's a 
problem of configuration. In the administration interface of horde in the 
'Kolab Cyrus IMAP Server Settings' user 'horde-admin' is configured with as 
Administrator User. Am I wrong thinking that synchronisations should be done 
with the access parameter of the normal user?
Thanks for your help. If you need more information, I will try to provide 
them.
