question about databases setup

[Jean Mao]

Hi, I am new to emboss. have question in database setup. 

I have a file in the directory /data/maoj/emboss/db/mouse/ called 'test.dat'. this file has 9 entries in embl format. i ran dbiflat, acnum.hit, acnum.trg, division.lkp, entrynam.idx were generated. 

then I setup a .embossrc file in my home dir as follows :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Logfile - set this to a file that any user can append to
# and EMBOSS applications will automatically write log information

# SET emboss_logfile /home/db/emboss/tmp/log

DB test [
        type: N
        method: emblcd
        format: embl
        dir: /data/maoj/emboss/db/mouse
        file: "*.dat"
        release: "1"
        comment: "Test DB"
        ]
-------------------------------------------------

when i run seqret and try to retrieve 1 of the 9 entries, i got following error:

% seqret
Reads and writes (returns) sequences
Input sequence(s): test:AB001363
Warning: Cannot open division file '<null>' for database 'test'
Warning: seqCdQry failed
Error: Unable to read sequence 'test:AB001363'

Please help. Thank you in advance.
