Looks like blatant misinformation to me. As to sources:

* Amazon SimpleDB on Erlang (friend of a developer): http://www.satine.org/archives/2007/12/13/amazon-simpledb/

* IMDb on Java/Erlang (a job posting): http://www.computerjobs.com/job_display.aspx?jobid=2052172

* Gears on Erlang: N/A

I can confirm that SimpleDB is Erlang (with Berkeley DB as the persistence engine), or at least I can say that one of the lead developers of SimpleDB has told me that this is the case.
