Any clue?
If a person can believe what they read...
Translation: If the $PS1 prompt is set according to customary *nix practice...

Then the '$' indicates you are running the command as an un-privledged user.
Try running the same command as 'root' ($PS1 will be set to '#').
It is reasonable to assume that you would have to be 'root' to change the system event message database.
