In other news, following a brief conversation, has there been any update to this problem?
I remind, our server has presented disfunctionality since the latest patch (34).
Key configuration variables are not loaded from config when the mailbox server boots.
We had to manually interfere with XML configuration files because variables were not picked.
No error was reported during installation (patch process)
No error was encountered by zimbra installation concerning access rights on temp folder
Errors appeared on zmmailbox.out log, concerning "malformed" variables, exactly as OP describes (no need to repeat).
Having bypassed these, we found that we also had to add to xml:
- zimbra http port (8080)
- zimbra admin url (/zimbraAdmin)
- zimbra admin port (7071)
We are not sure what else was not picked, the server seems to function ok-ish after we manually added these values.
We would deeply appreciate an applicable response.
Best regards,
Stavros

Re: Zimbra 9: zmmailboxdctl is not starting after applying latest patches(p26)
I just ran into this after upgrading to Zimbra 9 p29 (from p24).
After a lot of digging, I got it to work by running
Before doing this the permissions on that directory were:

Re: Zimbra 9: zmmailboxdctl is not starting after applying latest patches(p26)
I was able to workaround this by doing next steps:
1) hardcode values in xml
2) disable html check otherwise email body will not be shown in webmail interface.
3) clean caches
4) restart services
Zimbra Version: Release 8.8.15_GA_4362.RHEL8_64_20220721104405 RHEL8_64 FOSS edition, Patch 8.8.15_P37.
Notes:
[*] Reinstall (with -s or all options) doesn't fix this (but can help rebuilding zimlets if you need.
[*] It was introduced in lastest patches (maybe 35, 36 or 37), most probably in 36. Since before all worked fine.
[*] If you are not using Zimbra interface for your users (like a basic email service POP/IMAP) then just apply 7071 modifications in order to bring Zimbra Admin interface online.
