Maybe TDSDUMPCONFIG isn't telling you anything because odbc.ini doesn't
indicate a Servername entry.  Servername refers to the freetds.conf
dataserver name; if you use "Server" instead, you're talking about the
DNS name, and the ODBC driver doesn't consult freetds.conf.  

If you run "tsql -S servername" with TDSDUMPCONFIG, you'll see the
search path.

You're using a very old version.  You'll find hundreds of fixes and many
added features since then in ChangeLog.  If you have a problem with it,
the first thing we'll suggest is to upgrade.

What means "correct", Andrew?  Your first message indicated you have a
file /etc/freetds/freetds.conf.  That's not right unless you did
"./configure --sysconfdir=/etc".  But you're using an RPM or somesuch,
so the package should tell you where freetds.conf should be located.  

A quick hack:

        $ strings build/src/tds/.libs/libtds.a |grep freetds.conf
        %s/etc/freetds.conf
        .freetds.conf
        (.freetds.conf)
        /usr/local/etc/freetds.conf             <== your clue here
        ...Error getting ~/.freetds.conf.  Trying %s.

HTH.
