[Spambayes] Permission denied

[Jerome Lyles]

Hello,
I've been using spambayes 1.0a7 for about a year now with no problems and it 
works great.  Now however I can't start the server.  The error output is:

~> python /home/myhome/spambayes-1.0a7/scripts/sb_server.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

    d.open(file, db.DB_HASH, flags, mode)

Exception exceptions.AttributeError: "'MessageInfoDB' object has no attribute 
'db'" in <bound method MessageInfoDB.__del__ of

What do I do to correct this?
Thanks,
