@CaseIH - Sorry no - maybe its irrelevant now anyway given KG's last post.

I'm curious as to what issued the message; was it the forum, your browser, your OS or your security software?

The message reads more like a browser, OS or security suite message, rather than a VBulletin (forum software) error. But I hoped packaging the file in a zip might overcome it.

I think some firewalls will block uploading files to non white-listed sites.

I have tried uploading from Firefox, Opera, Chrome & Safari. I get the same message. I click on attachments, select the file I want it tries to upload and the the pop-up window gives me the message.

Only firewall is what came with windows.My OS is Win 7 Professional. I have MS Security Essentials & Malware bytes.

I am in Nebraska using Wild Blue internet if that makes a difference.

@ CaseIH - A suggestion, change the file name from metadata.db to metadata.txt and see if you can upload that. But, do the rename to a copy of the file located in a temporary place. Also, if this works add a note to change the file back to metadata.db.

I used to do this with .exe files.

Hope this helps.

Thanks rwmcafee but that did not work

@CaseIH - upload it in a zip to a file host (e.g zippyshare) and post link here.

If you can put a screen shot of the error message you get when you try to upload to here into the zip, then that that might help someone resolve that issue.

Hmm, according to the original error you posted your database has some entries with no paths, but the database you uploaded has no such entries, so I am confused. In any case, my fix should work for the original error, so try the next calibre release.
