Hussam,

Thank you for your tip on reproducing problem.  Using your method and
my "-x" on the #! line, produced the following interesting output:

 + for FILE in '$FILES'
 ++ basename wordlist.db
 + NAME=wordlist.db
 + bogoutil -d wordlist.db
 + bogoutil --db-transaction=no -l bf_compact.13637/wordlist.db
 Can't open wordlist './wordlist.db'

As can be seen, the "bogoutil -d wordlist.db" command lacks a directory
name. It should read "bogoutil -d ~/.bogofilter/wordlist.db".

Here's the patch for bf_compact:

----- end patch -----

I've also attached a fixed copy of bf_compact.
