####
GENERAL DATABASE OPTIONS

      Options in this section only apply to the configuration file section 
for the database in which they are defined. They are supported by every type 
of backend. Note that the database and at least one suffix option are 
mandatory for each database.
...
overlay <overlay-name>
    Add the specified overlay to this database. An overlay is a piece of 
code that intercepts database operations in order to extend or change them.

Your overlay definition is not inside your database definition.
