Got it working now ... here's what works:

    folder-hook mutt-users 'push <delete-pattern>~r>5d!~F<enter>'

Note small differences in the quoting.

Also note that on some of my folders I had something like:

    folder-hook list/abc 'push <delete-pattern>~r>5d!~F<enter>'

but to get it to work I had to change the slash to a period in the
folder name like this:

    folder-hook list.abc 'push <delete-pattern>~r>5d!~F<enter>'
