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.
