I think that we should not presume too much about the solution: perhaps
the user did not specify the right database or host and it has nothing to
do with initialization.

Maybe something like:

"pgbench_accounts is missing, perhaps you need to initialize (\"pgbench
-i\") in database \"%s\"\n"

The two sentences approach has the logic of "error" and a separate "hint"
which is often used.

+1 for error and hint separation.
