Can't get refdbib to work

Hi, I wonder.  Can someone help me?

I can't get refdbib to function properly.  I'm trying to get it to
export a bibtex file for a latex document, but it returns an error and
no output.

Here's the command I'm running:

    % refdbib -d joe -S name -m -l 7 -t bibtex -e 0 tc.aux > foo 
    Please enter your password: 
    refdbib started
    gettexbib  -u joe -d joe -s name 18
    Overduin1998pn
    999:1 retrieved:1 failed
    refdbib finished
    % cat foo

    % 

As you can see, the .aux file contains a single citation
'Overduin1998pn', which it appears to retrieve ok '1 retrieved', but
then it also says '1 failed' and no output is produced.

As you can see, this entry is in the database:

    TY  - JOUR

    AU  - Overduin,J.M.

    N1  - We review higher-dimensional unified theories from the general relativity, rather than the particle physics side. Three distinct approaches to the subject are identified and contrasted: compactified, projective and noncompactified. We discuss the cosmological and astrophysical implications of extra dimensions, and conclude that none of the three approaches can be ruled out on observational grounds at the present time.

    ER  - 
    999:1 retrieved:0 failed
    refdbc: 

What's going wrong?

BTW, how do I do a query in refdbc on the citation key?  I don't appear
to be able to do:

    refdbc: getref :ID:~'Overduin1998pn'
