restore mails from local Maildir back to IMAP

That I learned from the archives :) I recreated the folder with mutt.

That's what I expected, but it doesn't seem to work. Here's what I did (log and 
config below):

1. Do a fresh offlineimap sync
2. The folder ~/Syncdir/someuser at somewhere.de/INBOX.Berlin/ is empty (3 empty 
Maildir subdirs cur, new, tmp)
3. Copy deleted message files from backup into this folder (INBOX.Berlin/cur/ 
now has about 20 message files, INBOX.Berlin/new/ has one.
4. Run offlineimap again and expect INBOX.Berlin synced back to the IMAP server.
5. Nope :( 

Here's the log (slightly edited)

So it deletes the freshly copied files from INBOX.Berlin instead of pushing them 
to the IMAP server. 

Here's my config (slightly edited)

[general]
accounts = someuser

[Account someuser]
localrepository = Local_someuser
remoterepository = REMOTE_someuser

[Repository Local_someuser]
type = Maildir
localfolders = ~/Syncdir/someuser at somewhere.de

[Repository REMOTE_someuser]
type = IMAP
remotehost = imap.REMOTE.de
remoteuser = someuser at somewhere.de
remotepass = secret

expunge = no
maxconnections = 1
realdelete = no


Whats wrong?  I don't get it.

Thanks,
Olaf
