Trying out the new convert tool, to migrate from mbox to maildir. Using this syntax ( both inbox and folders are in user's home dir, in mbox format )
./convert-tool pinetest/export/home2/pinetest
mbox:/export/home2/pinetest/:INBOX=/export/home2/pinetest/mbox
maildir:/export/home2/pinetest/Maildir/
I get this error.
"Error: Mailbox conversion: Couldn't create mailbox home/Trash Error: Internal failure"
Where does it get home/Trash from is hard to guess. I'm not using any variables, every path explicitly says "/export/home2/pinetest"
Any ideas ?

From a previous post by Timo that I followed, and it worked (watch line breaks):
src/plugin/convert-tool user /home/user mbox:/home/user/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u maildir:/home/user/Maildir
Just guessing, but I don't see that you have the "user" name after "convert-tool" and before the home directory.
There is also a wiki entry IIRC.

here's the full command as I try to use it.
./convert-tool pinetest /export/home2/pinetest mbox:/export/home2/pinetest/:INBOX=/export/home2/pinetest/mbox maildir:/export/home2/pinetest/Maildir/
