export/import annotations.db

Thanks Alain,

this is the output of the >rpm -qa "bdb*" "db*":

Current Server:
dbus-1-mono-0.63-28
dbus-1-1.0.0-7
dbus-1-glib-0.71-26
db-4.4.20-16
dbus-1-x11-1.0.0-7
dbus-1-python-0.71-28
db-utils-4.4.20-16

New Server:

dbus-1-glib-0.74-25
dbus-1-1.0.2-59
db-utils-4.5.20-29


-- I don't know what I'm looking for here, I wouldn't imagine any of the  
dbus packages would have anything to do with it, the db-utils is newer, and  
I'm missing the db-?.?.?? package, must not be used in the new install (I'm  
going non gui because it just wastes space)...

I'll try the script stuff after trying to just copy it manually and see if  
it yells again..

thanks,
-Skip
