Show us for real? Also, check the permissions on /db itself...

I make db, db/revprops, db/revs, and db/txn-protorevs rwxrwsr-x (the s
is for linux/bsd "setgid" which, on a directory, means "inherit
permissions from the dir instead of the user's primary group".) Also
txn-current-lock, txn-current, write-lock are rw-rw-r--.

If you're on 1.5, you want 1.5.3 or later because there's a bug in
permissions on new "shards" under revs and revprops - but that doesn't
sound like the problem you're having...
