Just to I set permissions on / /var /var/run /var/rundev.db to 777 and 
rebooted. dmesg still reports

. ..skipping...
warning: /var/run/dev.db
:
No such file or directory
ps:
warning: /var/run/dev.db
:
No such file or directory
Though, after reboot, the permissions on dev.db are set back to as they 
 are above and the time stamp is updated so, I assume dev_mkdb is being 
run successfully.
