You're not doing anything wrong. BerkeleyDB-4.1 appears to have tightened the
semantics of specifying both the read-only and create flags to open.

The short-term solution is to create the databases first;

	% bogoutil -l ./goodlist.db < /dev/null 
	% bogoutil -l ./spamlist.db < /dev/null

I'll have to think about a longer term solution.
