Sounds like maybe the DB format you pulled is newer than your mtn
install?  Can't tell without the exact error.  I'm running on FC5 with
the following versions (and it looks like the last time I pulled the DB
was ~ 14th).

$ ls -la /oedev/OE.mtn
- -rw-rw-r-- 1 soberg soberg 121610240 Jan 14 04:37 /oedev/OE.mtn
$ mtn --version
monotone 0.32 (base revision: 3f0fa5c1d232d37d47f6436fe74919dd3cd003b1)
$ bitbake --version
BitBake Build Tool Core version 1.6.3, bitbake version 1.6.3
