Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

Yes, the error is "Not authorized to execute SQL queries".

My userid is in $vbbinstallroot/includes/config.php like so, 5201 being my userid on this forum:

    //    ****** USERS WITH QUERY RUNNING PERMISSIONS ******
    //    The users specified here will be allowed to run queries from the control panel.
    //    See the above entries for more information on the format.
    //    Please note that the ability to run queries is quite powerful. You may wish
    //    to remove all user IDs from this list for security reasons.
$config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries'] = '5201';

The error message appears at the following location:

I've tried an APC cache clearing script, server doesn't seem to be running APC.

Is there anything else it could be?

Edit: config file encoding seems ok, ANSI and it's obviously getting parsed correctly or VBB just wouldn't run, right?
