I'm trying to move all files and folder from /foo.com/bar/ to 
/foo.com/bar/Maildir without moving .dovecot.svbin and .dovecot.sieve 
etc. (homedir files)

So I wanted to lock the folder, kick the user and the move the 
files/folders, but the user logs in just after I kick him and so the 
auto-folders are created and my migration script fails, locking the 
folder with dovecot-uidlist.lock and maildirlock does not work in this 
case.
