I can think of two things:

1. You didn't set the env variable PHP_PEAR_SYSCONF_DIR as described in the INSTALL file

2. I had a similar issue while we were first moving to PEAR. In certain webserver configs (such as when you restart the lighttpd server) the webserver runs as the correct user, but when using PEAR looks for a .pear config file in the user's home directory who initiated the server restart. This will potentially cause problems by overwriting various paths.  I had to remove this file to resolve the issue.
