.mdb is the extension used by mono for storing debugging information.
Look on Windows when you build an app -- you will see
SimpelTest.dll.pdb.

It is possible that you are trying to host the site in debug mode,
though I've never seen that throw an exception if the debugging info
isn't there, usually it just ignores it.

I am including the main Mono mailing list on this question, since this
does not look like a MonoDevelop-specific problem.
