Yep...  I've double checked protections, ownership and so on... I've pasted the ls and .dbm files below:

[root@mml2 default_db]# ls -ls cable*
   4 -rw-r--r--    1 interch  interch       229 Sep  4 15:44 cable.dbm
   4 -rw-r--r--    1 interch  interch       212 Dec  6 17:41 cableoptions.dbm
[root@mml2 default_db]# cat cable.dbm
Database            cable         cable.txt         TAB
Database            cable         INDEX             icode
Database            cable         INDEX             sort
Database            cable         INDEX             group
[root@mml2 default_db]# cat cableoptions.dbm
Database            cableoptions         cableoptions.txt         TAB
Database            cableoptions         INDEX                    code
Database            cableoptions         INDEX                    sort


[root@mml2 products]# ls -ls cable*
  24 -rw-rw----    1 interch  interch     20764 Dec  6 15:52 cable.gdbm
  12 -rw-rw----    1 interch  interch      8217 Dec  6 15:52 cable.txt

   4 -rw-rw----    1 interch  interch       358 Dec  6 15:52 cable.txt.16
   4 -rw-rw----    1 interch  interch       599 Dec  6 15:52 cable.txt.2
   0 lrwxrwxrwx    1 interch  interch        39 Dec  6 15:52 cable.txt.group -> /mv_catalogs/mmb2c/products/cable.txt.2
   0 lrwxrwxrwx    1 interch  interch        39 Dec  6 15:52 cable.txt.icode -> /mv_catalogs/mmb2c/products/cable.txt.1
   0 lrwxrwxrwx    1 interch  interch        40 Dec  6 15:52 cable.txt.sort -> /mv_catalogs/mmb2c/products/cable.txt.16
   4 -rw-rw-r--    1 interch  interch       497 Dec  6 15:45 cableoptions.txt

BTW, this is 4.8.6 of IC.
