The problem is irrd is not finding the DB on bootstrap
and so it is not finding a DB.  

The solution is to execute the uii command "reload radb"
(ie, just after logging into the uii) after you have defined
the irr_directory and database (be sure to exit from config mode
first before executing the reload command.

Alternately, put the following into your irrd.conf file:

irr_directory /usr/irrdatabase
irr_database radb

The default path for the irrd.conf file is /etc/irrd.conf
or you can specify it on the irrd command line with the -f flag,
eg,  /usr/local/sbin/irrd -f /user/local/home/.../irrd.conf

Let me know how this works out.
