dbiflat question

[Marc Logghe]

Hi all,
I feel a little dumb but I'll ask it anyhow. I seem not to succeed in
creating indices for a database using dbiflat.
As a test I just wanted to index the genbank file /data/genbank/gbest226.seq
Ok, I wanted my indices to be in /data/emboss/est
so I have run dbiflat in that folder.
dbiflat -idformat genbank -directory /data/genbank -filenames gbest226.seq
-dbname est
I added this entry to emboss.default
DB est [
   type: N
   format: genbank
   method: emblcd
   directory: /data/emboss/est
]

But, you guessed it, this did not work.
What am I doing wrong here ? What happens with the passed dbname (could not
find any file with that name after running dbiflat) ?
TIA,
marc
