Does the security contect of the web server process have sufficient privilages
to access the mdb files?  Do any required environment variables present in your
sell also exist within the environment of the web server process?  Are all
required libraries installed in locations references in /etc/ld.so.conf or are
you possibly using some LD_LIBRARY_PATH declarations?
