Actually it was the sendmail that changed to user's ID before invoking 
procmail.  Sendmail can do that, since it is running as root.  Cyrus is 
not running as root, so it can't change its user ID.

The permissions look way to permissive to me.  I believe minimalistic 
persmissions that should work (once you figure out how to put all other 
parts together) are 711 for you home dir (allows others to access the 
files inside directory if individual file's permissions permit that, but 
not to list content of directory), and 644 for .sieve (and any related 
files) to allow Cyrus to actually read it.

Sorry for not being of more help.
