I'm confused: Are you using PostGIS, or DBM? It looks like DBM -- or at
least there is a DBM datasource in the config file. Is that true? It
seems like the file in question in the DBM data source doesn't exist --
which probably, more directly, means that the directory doesn't exist
(otherwise it would be able to create the file, that's the "c" option).

Remove that DBM datasource, if you're not using it? Otherwise, post your
config file here, and we'll go from there.

The latter is expected behavior.
