After a TimeMachine restore; Office 2011 is having kittens over permissions it would seem. Having attempted a 'repair' out of Disk Utility, am still seeing:

there is a problem with the Office database

upon startup, after which Word/Excel work without issues.

Outlook on the other hand won't even start. Given the obvious message here "You do not have write access to the Outlook application folder" – where is the DB located to check?

The data base should be in ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/Main Identity/ Inside should be the database file simply named "Database". If you fix the permissions(Get Info-> Sharing and Permissions) and it still isn't working, there is a repair tool called Microsoft Database Utility located in /Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Office/ that should be able to fix any remaining issue with the database.
