Database error

Hi,

I get a DatabaseError right after initial indexing.
I can reproduce this with my mails every time.
First, I remove the whole .notmuch/xapian directory and
run "notmuch new", which results in a DatabaseError when
using "xapian-check":

After this I try to tun "afew --tag --new -v" but it fails with (I don't know if 
this is related though):

Please help! I kind of lost here.
