Thanks for catching this; I missed this during my testing.
I've moved the refcount database back outside of ${PKG_DBDIR} in
revision 1.77 of bsd.pkg.install.mk. It now defaults to
${PKG_DBDIR}.refcount, which should put the refcount database in the
same place as ${PKG_DBDIR}, and with roughly the same name to emphasize
the relationship between the two.
