I'm not sure why that happened. I think you'd get those errors if, for
example, you were using a version of find that runs depth-first, e.g.,
trying to change the acl on Mail/inbox before changing the acl on Mail.
>/etc/chown: Command not found.
I'd expect things would work more reliably if the script set a path
that's sufficient for all platforms, instead of including a directory
name (e.g., /etc/) for most every program that it runs.

I fixed those four accounts and updated the accounts file. I think
we want these changes, which I'll put in later if no one objects:
set path = (/bin /usr/ucb /usr/bin /bin/athena /etc)
use gfind instead of find, probably solving the depth-first problem
create Mail/inbox and a Mail/context file with "Current-Folder: inbox"
make Mail/inbox system:anyuser none, system:administrators none
