It's about sqlite database and locking. See here :

You could also be interested in testing the following patch with
0.9.4svn version:
http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/digikam-devel/2008-July/019511.html

This makes sqlite use .lock files for locking the database which is
supported on all platforms and filesystems. Use at your own risk...
Works for me   :)
