This sounds like QDBM reached its limit.

This is another error (explained below).

The inotify limit is about 8k on some systems, we allow a maximum of the 
system maximum - 512 (IIRC). It isn't great, but this is a limitation of 
the inotify technology itself. The FANotify which is being developed by 
RedHat will hopefully make this issue go away as soon as it is 
available. For now, we can't do much about it.

Yes. It isn't supported in tracker 0.6. We have only just added support 
to 0.7 for that. In either case, I suggest you upgrade since 0.6 is 
pretty old and no where near as good as 0.7. The code base has been 
radically redesigned since 0.6.
