It seems it is creating the .db in the directory where the symlink is pointing to, instead in the directory where the symlink is (I assume the original poster used his previous config without changing the alias stuff). I haven't found something related in the postfix changelog. Concerned people should maybe ask on the postfix ML if this is intended or not.
