By chance did you run the backup as root but are running the extraction as
a normal user?

It doesn't actually *need* to tie to the db for extraction or listing (I
should fix it so it doesn't try, actually). 

Anyway, you can try this:

  flexbackup -d indexes=false -extract <file> 

(or set $indexes='false' in the config)
