problem with virtual_maps

Hi,

I have a Debian server with Postfix and Cyrus which receives mail for 3
domains. I only use 1 mailbox structure (Cyrus mailboxes)
I want to have special delivery rules for certain addresses and catch the
rest in a catchall mailbox
I've set up a virtual file and configured my main.cf with this line:

virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

virtual file:

shop@domain2.com shop
@domain1.com catchall

shop is a cyrus mailbox, so is catchall

Now I have the following strange problem:

the line directing shop@domain.com to mailbox shop is ignored, the mail is
sent into the 'catchall' mailbox

see the log:

Jan 16 14:22:25 debian postfix/qmgr[5160]: 22F6C1DB12F:
from=<bogaard@nlcom.nl.nospam>, size=6485, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Jan 16 14:22:25 debian postfix/pipe[5212]: 22F6C1DB12F:
to=catchall@domain1.com, orig_to=<shop@domain2.com>, relay=cyrus, delay=0,
status=sent (mail.server.com)


BUT, if I change the first line of the virtual file to another user, e.g.
'mybox' instead of 'shop':

shop@domain2.com mybox

then it works !

As far as I can see both cyrus mailboxes are identical. Only difference I
can see: the 'mybox' mailbox was created earlier than the 'shop' mailbox'
I really can't figure out why this goes wrong.
(naturally, after each change in the virtual file I do a postmap
/etc/postfix/virtual)

My postfix version: 2.0.16-4 (Debian)

Any help is appreciated ... workarounds also
