What is the working directory when you edit the vimball file?
And where are your files located?

I assume, that your autoload\dbext.vim file does not exist inside your
.vim directory (as the documentation says)?

In that case, try explicitly mentioning the path where the autoload/
directory exists:
:%MkVimball! dbext .

(in this case your files autoload/... files are in the current directory).
