Any ideas about this error?

I know this is old but I've had the same fight on both Windows and Ubuntu (when I assumed Windows was the issue).

If I used rgbify to output to a tif it worked, but if I tried to output to mbtiles it reported OGR Error code 5, on a different version the error was not quite the same but the fix was.

Found rasterio/rasterio#1648

which lead to my fix:
clone/download rio-rgbify
replace all the 'epsg' strings in mbtiler.py with 'EPSG'
install the modified version

cd rio-rgbify
pip install -e '.[test]'

omit the single quotes if installing on Windows

I also found that the following worked on Ubuntu...

mapbox/rio-rgbify#14

git clone -b sgillies-patch-1 https://github.com/mapbox/rio-rgbify.git
cd rio-rgbify
pip install -e '.[test]'
