With rename digikam.db you still get the error?   Is your picture
tree on a NFS or sambafs ?  (or on local hard disk?)

	df   ~/Pictures

Is you picture tree (default is ~/Pictures) directory writeable?

	ls -ld ~/Pictures

Can you start digikam from the command line and send us the output.

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
