Aspell looks for ".dat" file in directory you mentioned, not for actual 
dictionary file containing words.
Here is content of /usr/local/share/aspell:

ASCII.dat       iso8859-13.dat  iso8859-3.dat  iso8859-8.dat  koi8-u.dat
dvorak.kbd      iso8859-14.dat  iso8859-4.dat  iso8859-9.dat  lv.dat
en.dat          iso8859-15.dat  iso8859-5.dat  ispell         spell
en_phonet.dat   iso8859-1.dat   iso8859-6.dat  koi8-f.dat     standard.kbd
iso8859-10.dat  iso8859-2.dat   iso8859-7.dat  koi8-r.dat     viscii.dat


_Dictionary words_ file should be at different dictionary -- 
/usr/local/lib/aspell/:

american.alias            en_CA-only.rws         en-only.rws
american-w-accents.alias  en_CA-w-accents.multi  en-only.rws.save
british.alias             en_GB.multi            en_US.multi
british-w-accents.alias   en_GB-only.rws         en_US-only.rws
canadian.alias            en_GB-w-accents.multi  en_US-w-accents.multi
canadian-w-accents.alias  english.alias          lv
en_CA.multi               en.multi

My question is -- does "aspell create master" _really_ creates "machine 
dependent compiled binary" list of words as one can suppose from manual? My 
aspell 0.5 with "aspell --lang=lv create master ./lv < lv_wordlist" creates 
short one line file containing only "aspell default speller rowl 1.4" and 
nothing else. Strange. It can find "lv.dat" file (apparently) but can't 
create dictionary form plain list of words.
