I'm using digiKam under openSUSE Linux and had a similar issue some time ago.

Earlier versions of digiKam seemed to create the database file by default in 
~/Bilder (German name of ~/Pictures) whereas later DK versions seem to use 
~/digikam by default.

In some DK 1.4.x version there was still a mismatch where the setup wizard 
proposed one of those folders while the setup menu proposed thoe other one.

So maybe you simply need to open the setup dialog (German: Einstelliungen -> 
digikam einrichten ...) and in the database settings select the correct path 
where your digikam4.db file is located.

HTH,
