Thanks Patrick. I tried vacuuming the database as you suggested. That
didn't seem to work on its own. I then deleted all these files again:
.cmeta
.ibex.index
.ibex.index.data
.ev-summary

and as of now I am not getting the storing folder messages and the long
delays associated with them. I'll keep an eye on it and see how long
this works. Thanks again for all your help. Do you happen to know where
I could find an explanation as to what the above files and the folder.db
files do?
