Thanks, I think I've got it sorted out now. I changed things around to 
be closer to the situation in the 
HOWTO. I changed the root to /opt/mmuratet and the dbname to harry. I 
reran bp_bioflatindex.pl with the new parameters and changed 
seqdatabase.ini to:

VERSION=1.00

[fungal_genomes]
protocol=flat
location=/opt/mmuratet
dbname=harry

It created a new directory, harry, under the root /opt/mmuratet which has 
the appropriate entries. I set OBDA_LOCATION=/opt/mmuratet. Then I changed 
the command,

bp_biogetseq.pl --dbname fungal_genomes etc etc

and it works.

Thanks for the help.
