Your correct in that the above is a typo, it should have read "can't add
user 'dameon' to group ${GROUP}".

Currently, I am not sure why user daemon is being added to the cyrus group.
When I created the cyrus-sasl port, I had copied the pkg-install file from
the old cyrus 1.5 port, which had been adding the daemon user to the cyrus
group.  I suspect it had something to do with either sendmail/postfix when
using the cyrus deliver program.

Since we don't know what the daemon user is for, I'll be removing it in the
next update.
