If you don't use `monetdb` to create a database, the file isn't created.
I looked up what the file actually is called: ".vaultkey"

There should be a ".vaultkey" file as well when created with `monetdb`.
Merovingian uses that file.

My opinion is that you have to start merovingian at boot, as it is made
exactly for doing what you want.

I think you should switch 1) and 2).  Do not manually start mserver5
yourself if you intend to use merovingian.  Let monetdb and merovingian
handle all interactions with the database server.

Use the latest "nightly stable" sources (monetdb-install.sh
--nightly=stable ...) and help us to resolve bugs by carefully
describing your steps such that we can replay them.
