Mailbox Database is the default name on install. Are you putting the DB name in quotes?
I think Troy's recommendation is on the right track. This command will give you a list of all the mailbox databases on a given server. (Replace SERVERNAME with the name of the server you are working on): Get-MailboxDatabase -server SERVERNAME Hope that helps.
