Which maps? The OSM map tiles are saved in ~/.xastir/OSMtiles/
Others can be cached in the directory you mention. I mostly use OSM maps these days.
Much quicker, very much up-to-date. Entirely different caching code used in Xastir. I
don't know why it would be caching maps but not retrieving them. You do have to match
the same zoom level and map center if you expect to get a cache hit. If you're
constantly zooming/panning, you're not going to get many cache hits unless you use the
OSM tiles. If you use OSM, remember the "F4" key as it will force you to zoom
levels that look best with those maps. Immediately after I zoom in or out I hit F4 if
I'm using OSM maps.
2.) Everytime it down loads I get these on the screen.

Are you using an RPM-based system? If so you might try this:
rpm -qa | grep libdb
Mine shows this:
$ rpm -qa | grep libdb
libdb-4_5-4.5.20-113.1.2.i586
libdb-4_8-devel-4.8.30-11.1.4.i586
libdb-4_5-devel-4.5.20-113.1.2.i586
libdbusmenu-qt2-0.9.0-2.1.2.i586
libdb-4_8-4.8.30-11.1.4.i586
The important thing to notice is that the "-devel" package version number
matches the installed libdb version number. I'm running OpenSuSE-12.1 64-bit, fresh
install here, but it looks like I might want to remove some 4.5 packages so they don't
conflict with the 4.8 packages, if I can (sometimes other packages depend on them and I
can't remove the library, but I should be able to remove the 4.5 -devel package). It's
when you cross version numbers between the -devel and the library that you most often run
into issues. If I remember correctly, if you only have one -devel package installed for
libdb and it matches the most recent libdb package, you're probably ok.
3.) I downloaded the shape files but the weather map will not show up on
the openstreetmap?
How did you download the shapefiles? Using the script as root? What version
of Xastir are you running, and did you install it from sources or from a
pre-compiled package? We just tweaked the script a couple of weeks ago to
download the latest weather Shapefiles, but that version is only in CVS. You'd
probably need the latest dbfawk files from CVS to match as well.
