Subject: error 1016 : cant open ibd file even though it exists

Hello.

I get the following error when I try to query a table in a particular
database (test). The error is generated for all tables within that
database.
However, 'mysql' database works fine.

ERROR 1016 (HY000): Can't open file: 'TBL_FORUM_MSG_BODY.ibd' (errno: 1)

However, I have noticed that both the .frm and the .ibd file exists for
the
table TBL_FORUM_MSG_BODY. Then why the error? I looked into the error
log
and it is as follows

060222 15:14:09  InnoDB error:
Cannot find table test/TBL_FORUM_MSG_BODY from the internal data
dictionary
of InnoDB though the .frm file for the table exists. Maybe you
have deleted and recreated InnoDB data files but have forgotten
to delete the corresponding .frm files of InnoDB tables, or you
have moved .frm files to another database?
Look from section 15.1 of http://www.innodb.com/ibman.html
how you can resolve the problem.
060222 15:14:09 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Can't open file:
'TBL_FORUM_MSG_BODY.ibd' (errno: 1)


I tried restarting MySQL service in the hope that INNoDB will recognise
the
files properly, but to no avail. Is there a way to find and correct what
has
gone wrong? Someone please say 'yes'...

I am on MySQL 4.1.11 with InnoDB as the storage engine and with
per-table
tablespace.

Regards,
Rithish.
