The only thing I see about the DB problem would be that since the user is not allowing cookies, PostNuke is generating a session id each time he loads a page. Normally, the sessionid is saved in the DB and the cookie and the 2 are compared to see if it is the same user or not.
Cookies MUST be enable as told on the registration page :

There is no work around to the paranoid attitude of the no-cookie dudes.
And the no-cookie guy can't log in anyway if he doesn't allow your site to save cookies on his computer. A shame.

The other possibility is that those guys are not "guys"... but robots.
Googlebot, msn, etc... On pnConcept, when you see more than 15 people online, it is generally 5 people online and the rest are robots. If you have a popular site or a site with lots of links that the robots love, then...
If you are on 0.760 (0.750 ?), you can set the "no session for anonymous" in your settings... It might help as a session will not be stored for anonymous geeks.
That is the only thing I see that could help. Otherwise, you should move this discussion to forums.postnuke.com to see if others have the same problem and if the other devs that are more on the session side have any idea about this. It's an area I'm not very familiar with. If the discussion goes far enough, a better solution will rise one way or another.
i think u know this problem
