Mailboxes are not specified in terms of filesystem paths; these are 
specified in much the same way as for IMAP (albeit in UTF8 where 
relevant) and doveadm mailbox. So you should try:

sieve-filter -u foo at foo.tld main.sieve _REFILTER_ keep

The documentation is part of the problem I guess. I've adjusted the man page to specify the mailbox naming explicitly:
