[ingo] How to debug sieve error "Authenticate first"

Hi,

I once had this working, but now 2 remote backends are failing for me.
I've tested the problem with a single backends.php entry.  For localhost
it works OK.  For 2 remote cyrus servers, viewing the forward fails
to display the current content.  Entering a forward fails with:

[image: Success]  Changes saved.

[image: Error]  There was an error activating the script. The driver said:
Failed to connect, server said: "Authenticate first"

Testing with the list command and sieveshell I can connect
to the remote machines OK.  The remote machines are running cyrus.
$ sieveshell -u myuser -a myuser campus
connecting to campus
Please enter your password:
> list
ingo  <- active script

When the forward is saved from ingo, the remote cyrus is logging activity,
but no error:
Jun  5 10:48:58 campus service-sieve[85739]: accepted connection
Jun  5 10:48:58 campus master[86010]: about to exec
/usr/local/cyrus/bin/timsieved
Jun  5 10:48:58 campus service-sieve[86010]: executed
Jun  5 10:48:58 campus master[80561]: process 85739 exited, status 75

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to debug what is going wrong?
