In 0.98 a configuration option for a private mirror was added.
Your freshclam.conf has 'PrivateMirror disabled', so I'm a little bit 
surprised that it works at all. How did you point freshclam to your 
private mirror?

Please try this again with 'PrivateMirror <IP-adress>' and let us know, 
if it works.

If you want to get rid of this warning, just remove the trailing slash 
from the DatabaseDirectory in freshclam.conf.
