fs-setup would have aborted with an error if you had used a username that
wasn't listed in /usr/local/etc/freeside/mapsecrets

It's not normally necessary to run dbdef-create during an initial
installtion; fs-setup will take care of writing the schema to 
/usr/local/etc/freeside/dbdef.<datasource>

I'd be rather worried that fs-setup didn't finish and you're running
with a partially-created database if running dbdef-create made some things
work.
