Yes, you need items in the crontab file for all the databases. We're 
running three databases, and this is our crontab:

0,20,40 * * * * /usr/local/libexec/gnats/queue-pr --run
1,21,41 * * * * /usr/local/libexec/gnats/queue-pr --run 
--directory=/usr/local/share/gnats/external
2,22,42 * * * * /usr/local/libexec/gnats/queue-pr --run 
--directory=/usr/local/share/gnats/helpdesk

I have been planning to review the docs with regards to mutiple database 
support, but it has been quite a long time since I set up our system, and I 
have probably forgotten many of the little kinks and problems in the 
installation. Could you send me any details in the installation process 
that you think are lacking in the current documentation?

By the way, you didn't recompile Gnats, did you? In any case, that 
shouldn't be necessary.
