I have the very same problem. In my case it is Quantum GIS 1.8.0-Lisboa (in the
splash screen there is 1.8.0 RC1) on Linux Mint Debian. It was probably my first
attempt to save a spatial bookmark after upgrading from 1.7.2.
The file is there. According to recommendation connected with similar, but not
the same problem, I tried to rename the file (in the recommendation it was
stated, that the file could be incompatible with the new version and that it
should be recreated when removed -and it indeed was), but it did not change
anything. 
I also wonder if the two slashes in the path (/home/<an user
name>/.qgis//qgis.db) could be the problem, but I do not know from where it
comes from.
