Error on Ubuntu

[merlinsilk]

I just moved my Calibre install from a windows machine to an ubuntu server. The transition was pretty painless, but I am now rather frequently get the error pasted below. Is there something I am doing wrong or is there a bug that needs to be fixed?
Cheers,

That looks like database corruption. Try rebuilding your database using the library maintenance tool

Thanks, kovidgoyal!
I think I did something to the database by accessing it over the network from the main unix machine but also from a windows machine. Not 100% sure, but if somebody runs into this error, this might be something to look into.
