Steve,

In my experience, these kinds of problems are either path,
or permissions.  I see from your other posts that you're
fairly certain it's not path, or file permission on the DB
file, so make sure the directory where the DB file lives
allows rw for the Web server user (apache?).

If, for example, the db file is in your home dir, you'd
need to allow the apache user to have rw premission there. 
Since that's probably not a good idea, you should consider
putting it in its own dir where you can manipulate the
permissions to suit.
