There is only a single database named default...the 
/usr/local/etc/gnats/databases file contains the line:

default:Bug database:/usr/local/com/gnatsdb

and the output of dbls, as expected, is:

dbls
301 List follows.
default

yes gnatsdb is the default database, but attempting a 'chdb' before 
logging in has no effect

chdb default
210-Now accessing GNATS database 'default'
210 User access level set to 'listdb'
user anon pw
210-Now accessing GNATS database 'default'
210 User access level set to 'listdb'

Here, the permissions should become "edit".

by default, I am referring to the gnatsd.access file in 
/usr/local/gnats/defaults/
