In the config file

	/opt/couchdb-1.0.1/etc/couchdb/local.ini

Can you provide the directory listing of the database_dir directory? 
Including the hidden files (there may be a .delete directory)

	ls -la

Interested particularly in the permissions of the files.

Also, and it may or may not exist, but if there's a file

	/opt/couchdb-1.0.1/etc/default/couchdb

It may have entries in it such as

COUCHDB_USER=couchdb
COUCHDB_STDOUT_FILE=/opt/couchdb-1.0.1/var/log/couchdb/couch.log
COUCHDB_STDERR_FILE=/opt/couchdb-1.0.1/var/log/couchdb/couch.log
COUCHDB_RESPAWN_TIMEOUT=5
COUCHDB_OPTIONS=


If you have this file, is the COUCHDB_USER value set to the same thing 
that the permissions of the files and folders in your database_dir are 
set to?

Are you running couch as root, userdan, or couchdb when you are 
troubleshooting this?

Also set the log level to debug and check the path to the database files (database_dir and view_index_dir) and make sure the files in those directories are owned by the couch user.
