The real problem is that the folder-hook is "eating" a set of quotes.
Try it like this:
folder-hook in-l-debian-user 'set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b%d} %-15.15n
%(41)%s"'
In general, you will have to quote the second argument of a folder-hook
statement if it has any spaces in it, the same as you quote the
index_format string with spaces in it.
good times,
Vineet
