There are db_recover tools installed with BDB but they're called db41_recover 
or db_recover-4.2 etc.

The other error is that it doesn't appear to be able to write to /home/mysql 
but in your next email the perms look OK (well they are bad because 777 is 
insecure but they won't result in permission denied)
