Mystery solved. The problem was with my refdbd command. I was passing
to the '-i' parameter the full filepath to the database file itself
</var/lib/refdb/db/refdb> instead of the path to the database
*directory* </var/lib/refdb/db>. When I used the latter value the
command worked fine.
You may wish to reverse the recent change to refdbd.

David.
