Did you get my mail from yesterday?
I suggested to set the dates in the database to null and let the startup scan 
reread the date:

With the sqlite3 tool, execute
"UPDATE Images SET datetime=null;"
Then at startup, scanlib should update the date information.
Of course make a backup of your database file!

(untested)
