Are you using your own application or are you using the shell tool included with Mac OS X in /usr/bin/sqlite3 ? In the folder where you find the database file on your 10.7 computer, are there any other files with similar names ? They may be journal files for when the database was not closed properly. > The strange thing is, when I attempt to load the sqlite3.dylib from > Snow Leopard under Mountain Lion, it also does not work.

You may be trying to open the wrong dynamic library, or one compiled for a different OS, or something. Check out the database itself using the shell tool, then involve a dynamic library only once you're sure the database file is okay.
