I've discovered that this error is directly related to a problem on the file-sharing permissions on the company's server.

Since the company doesn't have a policy on watching the server's error logs, this only came to my attention today.

My deep excuses to Jeff Urlwin (author of DBD::ODBC) and Tim Bunce (author of DBI), since THIS IS NOT a DBI bug.

Downvote me if you want, fellow monks. I deserve it.

Mea Culpa,
