It sounds like differing DB modules are being used. I don't know
much about the AWL stuff, but a look at the code says that it's using
AnyDBM_File, which according to the man page says:
"It prefers ndbm for compatibility reasons with Perl 4, then Berkeley DB
(See the DB_File manpage), GDBM, SDBM (which is always there--it comes
with Perl), and finally ODBM."
So I would say 2 of your machines have, say, NDBM, and another 2 have,
say, Berkeley DB. To make your servers all use the single file, you
will want them to all support the same DB libs that allow that to happen.
I believe Berkeley DB does single file for instance.
