Please see the FAQ at
    http://www.gnu.org/software/gnats/doc/faq/gnats-faq_3.html#SEC12

In short: "initialize" the new database, and create a separate
set of mail aliases.

The FAQ forgets to mention that you must enter the new mail
address in new-db-dir/gnats-adm/config (GNATS_ADDR=...).  I'll
update this.

That's probably because you use the mail aliases of the old
database.

I am confused by this.

Are you sure the entry in gnats-db.conf points to the right
directory?  Does the new directory contain gnats-adm,
gnats-queue, and the sub-directories for the categories?

Does everything in the new db directory belong to the gnats user
(and is readable and writeable by it)?


    ZS> I know gnat4 have been released for monthes.

It is still beta (officially), but seems to be pretty usable.

    ZS> And it support multiple DB very well.

I am running 3.111, with multiple databases.  So I can confirm
that it works, even with pre-4.0. :-)

Internationalization is on the agenda only for post-4.0, sorry.
