Oh, you are close, but it looks like you have misinterpreted the docs
a bit.  From the integrit manpage:

       integrit -C conffile [-x] [-u] [-c]

...

       -C       Specify  conffile  as  the configuration file for
              integrit.

 
... so the argument to the -C option should be the filename of your
configuration file.  The known and current database names are set
*inside* that configuration file.

The command will look something like this:

  # integrit -C /mnt/cdrom/integrit-boop.conf -u

... where integrit-boop.conf is your configuration file on a CD-ROM.

It's a very low-traffic list, and there are more integrit users there
to help you if you need it.
