Markus,

   Having gone through the process manually (and following the manual, plus
experimenting), I think that I understand the source of the error.

   When the refdb-init.sh script is run, the database command 'createdb
<name>' is run. RefDB does not see this as a valid RefDB databse because it
was not created within the client, refdba.

   When the script gets to this last stage, it would need to invoke refdba --
as the database user -- ask for the password, then run 'createdb <name>' from
within the administrative client.
