Looks like you have a bad path set or something.
Perhaps in the context this setting is in, it NEEDS a "[" but doesn't have
one..

Here is what I got when I typed  'grep "\[" .pinerc' from my unix prompt.

# the default for Saves. Example: Main {host1}mail/[], Desktop mail\[]
# Syntax: optnl-label {optnl-imap-hostname}optnl-directory-path[]
# than used for NNTP posting. Examples: News *[] or News *{host3/nntp}[]
# Syntax: optnl-label *{news-host/protocol}[]
# pruning each month.  For example: {host1}mail/[] mumble

All those lines are comments, which says to me that I don't actually have
any of those values set explicitly.

>From the looks of it though, all the paths there would need a "[]" at the
end for whatever reason.

Maybe somwhere you have "mail/" listed where you should have "mail/[]"
