This means that the database user that you specified doesn't have  
sufficient permissions to create new databases and/or tables. If you  
don't want to create a new database anyway, but use the existing db,  
then you should tell this to the setup script, i.e. answer NO when  
asked whether to create a new database. You still need permissions to  
create tables though.
