Is this is on an existing file created on the other system?  Can you create
and use new files with dbhash.open()?  If so the file may have become
corrupted or something.  Try running db_verify (one of the utilities built
when you compiled DB) on the file and see what it tells you.

P.S. In case you are interested, the next generation of Berkeley DB wrappers
is available at http://pybsddb.sourceforge.net/
