Instructions for mass migration could be found in O'Reilly book
"Managing IMAP". Online version also available:
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/mimap/chapter/ch09.html#92594
Note that those instructions are optimized for case when you need to
migrate (tens/hundreds of) thousands of users at once (either to or from
Cyrus). For your ten users, some steps could probably be made faster or
simpler.
The stuff in /usr/share/doc/cyrus-imapd-* is also worth reading.

It would be helpful if you cut&paste the error message you got. Without
it, nobody can really help you. Cyradm from Fedora's cyrus-imapd-utils
RPM worked for me out-of-the-box on each and every system I installed
(and this is really all that I or anybody else can tell you without
seeing that error message).
