Problem: The flux-accounting service depends on the creation of the flux-accounting DB before starting since it needs to establish a connection to the DB in order to run "flux account" commands. If this is done out of order, confusing behavior can result from running the commands, such as an "attempt to write to a readonly database" error. Add a note to the flux-accounting guide about making sure the flux-accounting DB has been created before starting the flux-accounting service and give an example of the error message that can potentially occur.
