I think this is why sqlite cannot be (should not be ?) used on a network
share drive: http://www.sqlite.org/lockingv3.html  See "How to corrupt
the database."

But... will it corrupt if only one user is access it at a time ?

When I searched on sqlite + multiuser + network drive, it seems as
though a lot of people want to use sqlite over a network.  A lot of
interesting applications use sqlite including Lightroom and Aperture.   

One person suggested that someone write a remote access interface to
sqlite so that it can access the database on a network share drive. He
called it an sqlite "redirector".  I think that would be a much better
effort than having to set up and administer mysql.

The other way around this problem is to look at using the Firebird
database.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firebird_(database_server)
