Provided you did solve your Database timed-out issue in Clearcase UCM, that error message is not surprising.
The technote "About non-UCM and UCM views" mentions:
Working in a UCM view will return an error if accessing a VOB or component that is not associated with its project:
cleartool: Error: Config spec indicates that checkouts are not allowed for element "<some element>".
- Views can only be used to work on a single stream, under a specific project and in modifiable components that are associated with that project.
- New versions created by a checkin are catalogued in an activity
- Metadata is applied automatically to checked in versions
- Operations, such as cleartool mkactivity, are recorded at the project level
If you are trying to add to source control a file in a path which is not part of a writable UCM component declared on the stream which is referenced by your UCM views, you would get that message.
