the problem is on linux and FUse

it does not support shared mmap. (it seems to support private mmap though)

QDBM is using shared mmaps but as we have inlined the source for that in 
tracker we could modify it to use a private mmap (as trackerd is the 
only process that accesses qdbm then it should not matter if its private)


If you are compiling from source, can you try modifying the source:

change "MAP_SHARED" to "MAP_PRIVATE" in xdgmimecache.c and depot.c in 
src/trackerd directory

and see if it works with FUSE mounted directories ( i dont have any so I 
cant test)
