Hi,

Have you tried seeing whether you can use AcePerl to connect directly to
the database (rather than the server).  I.e.

$local = Ace->connect (-path =>/some/path/to/database/);

If this works then it would suggest it is a server problem, if this
doesn't work then maybe it is a file permissions problem.
