Your postfix cannot find it's way to the Cyrus doors.

I have the same setup running using Cyrus 2.2.3, and I encountered this 
as well, and I fixed it by having Cyrus put it's socket into the postfix 
environment and then pointing postfix to the right socket.

In my case, the latter was done with a transport db, but hey, it's a 
free world :)

imapd.conf:
lmtpsocket: /var/spool/postfix/public/lmtp

main.cf:
transport_maps = hash:$config_directory/transport-cyrus

transport-cyrus:
my.virtual.domain.org      lmtp:unix:public/lmtp

postmap it, reload postfix and cyrus and have fun ;)

HTH,

Nils.
