Is there a *.table file in your /databases folder corresponding to the
table in question? If so, you probably created that table on another system
or with a previous version of the database and copied/retained the *.table
file. This leads web2py to think the table already exists, so web2py will
not attempt to create it. You can simply delete the *.table file, and the
DAL's migration system will then create the table.
