pkgdb -f != pkgdb -F

Case sensitivity is what you are missing judging by your written 
description.

i recommend that you 'man pkgdb' and read the description of each option 
to get a better idea of what you are doing when you run the command. 
When you do that i think you will find that pkgdb doesn't take a "-O" 
argument, but that is a different issue than your "-f" troubles.
