The path to my database file is the same as yours. Did you have to create an 
empty file at ~/.mpd.mpd.db or did the file get created by mpd in an empty 
directory?

The relevant lines in my ~/.mpdconf are

music_directory                 "/home/bob/mpdmusic"
playlist_directory              "/home/bob/.mpd/playlists"
db_file                                         "/home/bob/.mpd/mpd.db"
#db_file                                                "/var/lib/mpd/mpd.db"
log_file                                                "/home/bob/.mpd/mpd.log"
#log_file                                       "syslog"
#pid_file                                       "/home/bob/.mpd/pid"
pid_file                                                "/var/run/mpd/mpd.pid"
state_file                                      "/home/bob/.mpd/state"
#state_file                                     "/var/lib/mpd/mpdstate"
error_file                                      "/home/bob/.mpd/mpd.error
