 I just noticed that the first sentence with the most important information
 is missing:

 Yes, I tried, but it didn't make a difference. Exact same error as before
 and DEBUG=3 gives me:

 D3/3: db_driver_open_database(): host = (null), port = (null), options =
 (null), tty = (null), dbname = testgrass, user = (null), password = (null)
 schema = (null)

 > And if this is how it is supposed to be done, then we need to change the
 man page.

 > It just seems a bit redundant to have to indicate driver and database
 twice...
