You are saying that users mismatch the DB and the permanent directory, and you would like to have that fix automagically ? Not only the jobs status could be there, but also the attachments, and many other permanent data that will not match the DB.
I completely agree that mixing inconstantly a DB and a permanent directory is an annoying issue. I am not sure we could do any magic to fix it. What could be nice to have is a GUID on the main DB, and in the permanent directory, that in case of mismatch, prevent the wiki to start fully and inform the user. WDYT ?
