I'm not a RPM user, but what's the type of the database? To me the
error looks like Berkeley DB (Sleepycat.com). When it's some
binary file, it may be architectural differences between the machines
the guests run on. As VServer doesn't emulate the hardware, such
differences will persist in the guest. In this case, you'd have to
dump it to some portable format and then restore it on the host. This
would also mean that all other databases of the same type or even any
other binary databases would cease work on the second machine.
