Thanks for the catch. I will place ejabberd database files under
/var/db/ejabberd. For your convenience, below are new files/dirs 
introduced by ejabberd:

   /usr/sbin/ejabberdctl  -  command
   /usr/lib/ejabberd/     -  ejabberd private directory(read only)
   /etc/ejabberd/         -  directory for ejabberd config files
   /var/log/ejabberd/     -  directory for ejabberd log files
   /var/db/ejabberd/      -  directory for ejabberd mnesia db files

Both /var/db/ejabberd and /var/log/ejabberd will be owned by daemon.
Permission of /var/db/ejabberd will be 700, and permission of
/var/log/ejabberd will be 755.
