On linux, the default config.db that is used when you just type "Mnemosyne" should be under ~/.config/mnemosyne/. It is there that the last saved database is encoded.
If you get 'permission denied' when using the -d option, that seems to suggest you don't have permission to create new files in that location. Also make sure you are using the latest Mnemosyne version.
