What version of CSCMail are you using?	If it's the 1.6.1 version, the search
expression is a perl regex, and in that case, you are saying, "anything that
has a P or a B or an S or a U or an R or an E, move to the PBS folder"	What
you really want to use is:
\[PBS-USERS\]  or simply PBS-USERS

In CSCMail 1.7.x filters are simple text matches, and not perl regex'es due to
this type of confusion...
