I can not execute:

PHP_PEAR_SYSCONF_DIR=/var/www/mauser.info/mailoffice  php -d  
include_path=/var/www/mauser.info/mailoffice/pear/php  
/var/www/mauser.info/mailoffice/pear/horde-alarms

I get a:

PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function setObs() on a non-object  
in /var/www/mauser.info/mailoffice/pear/php/Horde/Perms/Sql.php on  
line 130

Line 130 is:

   $this->_permsCache[$name]->setObs($this->_cache, $this->_db);

What is wrong here?
