You need to configure vacation for your database file format.  In
vacation/config/conf.php you set the default database type in the line

$conf['server']['params']['dbtype'] = 'empty';

Empty is the default value.  Obviously that doesn't work for you, so change
it to the correct type.

Assuming unix, do a file command on your vacation.db file generated with
"vacation -i" and that will tell you in a rather cryptic way what type of
database file you should use.  Failing that, you could try the supported
file types one by one until you find one that works, but that isn't the
best way.  If you do find your database format isn't supported, then 
submit the file generated by the "vacation -i" for inclusion in future
versions.
