yeah, sorry, I probably didn't make the dump/load instructions clear 
enough. you need to *not* init the db before loading, just do

   monotone db dump | ./monotone --db=new.db db load

where new.db is a file which does not exist yet; the dump contains SQL 
statements to create all the tables in question. this is probably just 
sloppiness on my part that the init command doesn't report a nicer 
error. it's detectable.
