Thanks for your report, this seems to be a regression
in ibus-table 1.9.14-2:

$ HOME=/foobar ibus-table-createdb
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/ibus-table/engine/tabcreatedb.py", line 29, in <module>
    import tabsqlitedb
  File "/usr/share/ibus-table/engine/tabsqlitedb.py", line 36, in <module>
    import ibus_table_location
  File "/usr/share/ibus-table/engine/ibus_table_location.py", line 102, in <module>
    __module_init = __ModuleInitializer()
  File "/usr/share/ibus-table/engine/ibus_table_location.py", line 96, in __init__
    _init()
  File "/usr/share/ibus-table/engine/ibus_table_location.py", line 76, in _init
    os.makedirs(ibus_table_location['data_home'])
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/os.py", line 231, in makedirs

    mkdir(name, mode)
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/foobar'
$


ibus-table 1.9.1-4 in testing does not seem to have this problem:

$ HOME=/foobar ibus-table-createdb
Usage: tabcreatedb.py [options]

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -n NAME, --name=NAME  specifies the file name for the binary database for
                        the IME. The default is ''. If the file name of the
                        database is not specified, the file name of the source
                        file before the first '.' will be appended with '.db'
                        and that will be used as the file name of the
                        database.
  -s SOURCE, --source=SOURCE
                        specifies the file which contains the source of the
                        IME.  The default is ''.
  -e EXTRA, --extra=EXTRA
                        specifies the file name for the extra words for the
                        IME.  The default is ''.
  -p PINYIN, --pinyin=PINYIN
                        specifies the source file for the  pinyin.  The
                        default is '/usr/share/ibus-
                        table/data/pinyin_table.txt.bz2'.
  -o, --no-create-index
                        Do not create an index for a database (Only for
                        distrubution purposes, a normal user should not use
                        this flag!)
  -i, --create-index-only
                        Only create an index for an existing database.
                        Specifying the file name of the binary database with
                        the -n or --name option is required when this option
                        is used.
  -d, --debug           Print extra debug messages.

You need to specify the file which contains the source of the IME!
