The existence of those files really gives it away.  Otherwise the
which_database script should tell you, although if that's not working...

You can use the dbExpImp.py script to convert your database to a flat
text file (or pickle), install bsddb and then convert the text file to
bsddb.  However, this might not be a good idea - if the database is
corrupted, then you're just going to end up with a corrupted bsddb
database.  Training from scratch is the better option (lucky spambayes
learns so fast...)

No.  The change will just happen.

That makes sense :)  You don't have bsddb, so why would you be able to
import it.  I'll correct this.
