 This looks like your python shelve module is playing up.  Silly question:
do you have enough free disk space?  When I use shelve it only creates a
single file, not .pag and .dir files.  It might be possible that shelve is
falling back on a weird backend that isn't working correctly.  I think the
default is bsddb (aka as dbhash to anydbm)?

What output do you get for this:

$ python
>>> import anydbm
>>> s=anydbm.open('testshelve','c')
>>> s.__class__
<class bsddb._DBWithCursor at 0xb7dd653c>
>>> s.__module__
'bsddb'
>>> anydbm._names
['dbhash', 'gdbm', 'dbm', 'dumbdbm']

and what files are created?
