I've successfully installed the new version (from 3.0.6 to .7) and I placed the included "plugin" folder into the "wp-content/plugins" folder and network activated it.
I can't find the MultiDB admin panel anywhere on the network admin or (primary) site admin dashboards

Hi magakrav,
There's no panel or options area for Multi-DB actually. It simply does its job in the background with no need for further configuration in the front-end. :)
By the looks of things there is an unfinished monitoring tool released in the plugin folder of multidb 3.0.7.
multidb.php contains a class but when you actually make the plugin code run (by adding $multiDb = new multidb(); at the bottom of the file) it throws a function not defined error - it seems that the multidb.php file has been copy+pasted from the autoblog class and it wasn't finished.
Basically for some reason WPMU Dev saw it fit to ship incomplete code.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the clarification David. So should be or should we not network activate the plugin - MultiDB works fine without the "plugin"
Curious though what this code meant in the plugins/multidb/multidb.php
function add_adminmenu() {
global $menu, $admin_page_hooks;
if(function_exists('is_multisite') && is_multisite()) {
if(function_exists('is_plugin_active_for_network') && is_plugin_active_for_network('multidb/multidb.php')) {
if(function_exists('is_network_admin') && is_network_admin()) {
add_menu_page(__('Multi DB','multidb'), __('Multi DB','multidb'), 'manage_options', 'multidb', array(&$this,'handle_dash_page'), multidbg_url('images/menu.png'));
}
}
}

Can Barry or another Dev comment on this?
There's also no instructions on the plugin's install page on what to do with the /plugin/multidb/ folder that comes in the ZIP.

That slipped in the latest version by accident, we'll fix the package. Just ignore it, it does absolutely nothing at this point (good or bad).
