I doubt anyone can help you without access to your forum and server as what you report makes no sense. If the attachments are being stored in the file system (as per "Attachments are currently being stored in the filesystem at /home/xxxxx/public_html/xxxxx/attachments") then clearing out the database cannot nuke them, that suggests your forum was actually using the database, which conflicts with the message above. The only answer is for someone who understands the system to look and see what is actually happening.
