How are you generating and installing the iocpsc.db file?  If you post the 
contents of your xxxApp/Db/Makefile we might be able to help.  If you wrote 
your own rule you probably want to write a clean:: rule as well to delete 
the .db files you generate, or make sure that the .db files are listed in the 
TARGETS variable which is included in a built-in clean:: rule.

Writing rules for EPICS Makefiles is a little different than with other 
packages because of the way that we share the Makefile between the source 
directory and build directory; you might want to study the file at 
<base>/configure/RULES.Db to look at the rules that we provide for database 
files, documentation for which is mostly in section 4.6.10 of the Application 
Developers' Guide.
