On reason this happend in the past was that there was a OpenOffice.org user installation (~/.openoffice.org3) which was create with a non-vanilla (the one you can download from www.openoffice.org) version of OOo. That version created data which is incompatible to the one used by vanilla OOo. This is the berkeleydb data base files. What you can try is to rename your existing user installation, run a vanilla OOo which then creates a new user installation.
I forgot to mention, that the upcoming OOo 3.2 will use a more current berkeleydb so that this incompatibility will not occur.
