I assume something bad happened at some point, and bbackupd ended up 
terminating when the Berkeley DB library was writing to one of those 
files. Then the next time it can't read it.

Anyway, it's an easy one to fix. If there's a problem, delete the 
database files and start again. They are only used for tracking files 
and directories when they are renamed, so in the worst case things will 
just be a little less efficient than they should be.
