The sqlite driver needs a file not a directory as database. Are there 
any files in the directory /home/achim/grass/globe2/achim/sqlite/ ?
Maybe something went wrong with the default database connection. Print 
general DB connection for current mapset with db.connect -p. Test with 
db.test and db.tables -p. (Re-)Set DB connection for a vector map to an 
attribute table with v.db.connect.
See mapset sqlite in nc_spm_08 (the North Carolina sample dataset) for 
an example on how to set sqlite as default database driver for grass.

Hope that helps,
