global.db is a sqlite3 database-file. When this file gets corrupt, no new entries can be added in the database anymore. The simplest solution is to remove global.db, the next time you start your DR it will be re-created. The downside is that the file also contains the thumbnails, so after removing the db-file, these will also be gone. Depending on the settings, these will be generated when a new file is added to the database (which takes a long(er) time when booting) or when you open a file.
Ok, great. That is much better than what I have been doing so far (using a unison-created backup which ignores the .db files, formatting, and restoring the contents of the SD card).

Thanks a lot!
