It seems there is a misunderstanding of the usage of Berkley DB. BDB is a 
library implementing a key/value store and is quite flexible in what can be 
used as key and value.
And that's the way MapCache uses it. The key is a string representing tileset, 
zoomlevel and any used dimension but at least (x, y) and the value is the image 
BLOB. So there will be a single BDB cache stored in a directory (because BDB 
uses multiple files) for all tilesets configured to use this cache.
The error message you got is a mixed result of BDB (1st: "multiple ...") and 
SQLite (2nd: "file is encrypted..."). This is a new feature since Oracle 
Berkeley DB 11g. It combines the flexibility of the SQLite database engine with 
the strengths of the BDB used as storage backend. See [1] for more info on that.
Although both use-cases use BDB as backend they are in fact completely 
different and cannot be mixed together. So you cannot use dbsql to inspect the 
tilecache. You have to use mapcache_seed to manipulate it (seed/reseed, clean).
