The only things wrong I can see are that the line > folder-hook +Spool/mutt-users 'fcc-hook .* +Outgoing/mutt-user has only one single-quote and that the line > folder-hook +Outgoing/mutt-users 'set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} > %-15.15t (%4l) %s"' wraps. Otherwise, your use of the folder-hook looks fine, including putting the default folder-hook first. You said the index_formats worked when set directly, so I didn't look closely at those.
