The sqlcode -5005 translates to:

Diagnosing The Problem
When querying DB2 for more details on this error the following explanation is shown:
$ db2 "? sql5005"
SQL5005C System Error.
Explanation:
A system error, probably an I/O error, was encountered while accessing a configuration file.
The command cannot be processed.
User Response:
Resubmit the command.
If the error persists, check the db2diag.log file for details and ensure that the configuration file is accessible. If unable to resolve the problem, contact an IBM Service Representative for assistance.
Resolving The Problem
The db2systm configuration file is created in the sqllib subdirectory of the instance directory (/home/<instance_name>/sqllib) when the instance is initially created.
To resolve this error, check following:
1. The permissions for this file should be similiar to the following:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 <instance_name> <sysadm group> 16384 Jun 29 2013 db2systm
2. If the db2systm file is not present then contact DB2 support for further assistance.
