I wish people would cut and paste the real unadulterated thing. That can't possibly
run at all as you are missing a close double quote for the -r option. You've just
made out job a lot harder as we have to guess what you are really doing. Do you think
that's the best way to get a good response when you need urgent help?

It strikes me that this message is pretty straightforward.
Are you starting tcpserver as root?
Have you examined the permissions to that file?
What does the output of:
ls -ld /etc /etc/tcpcontrol /etc/tcpcontrol/smtp.cdb
show?
