Worked like a charm, thanks.

BTW, is it natural for me to have both of these:

% ls -lu .pan/data/folders/pan.sent.mbox
-rw-rw-r--    1 bdbryant bdbryant  5597753 Apr 14 22:17 
.pan/data/folders/pan.sent.mbox

% ls -lud .pan/data/messages/folders/pan.sent
drwx------    2 bdbryant bdbryant    69632 Apr 16 00:32 
.pan/data/messages/folders/pan.sent
