No idea but;

I would tend to beleive the "No such file or directory" statement.
you can do an ls -la /var/szs/rules.dbm ?

I would have written the "or die $!;" as or die "Can't dbmopen $!\n"; but then maybe 
you only have one die statement to worry about?

I have never seen "dbmopen (%PLRULES, "/var/szs/rules.dbm", undef)" normally I see 
        dbmopen (%PLRULES, "/var/szs/rules.dbm", 0666) or die.....
        %PLRULES=();

The syntax for dbmopen is Arrayname DB_filename mode 
so I just wonder if undef is a mode?
