Restore database will rebuild it from the OPF files. But thats kind of an extreme measure, and some plugins keep info in the metadata.db which might get lost if you delete the file (unless it's stored somewhere else, I never checked).

Could you get around the database inconsistency with the data folders? That's not stored in the database, so if you can set rsync to ignore zip files in the data folders that could work without getting the database out-of-sync.
