As Barry mentioned, the verification engine is very sensitive. I have found
a secondary method of verifying the database. There are two scripts that
create MBOX files of your folders. I have found that if either of these
script fail, there is a corrupted message that can be indicative of database
corruption.

Barrry Wainwright's script "Export Folders"
<http://scriptbuilders.net/files/exportfolders1.1.html>

Allen Watson's script "Archive Folders"
iDisk's public folder: use the Go menu to go to the public folder for
allen_a_watson 
Look in the folder /Scripts/Entourage OS X& 2004
Download " Archive Folders"

If nothing else you will have some nice back ups of your messages after
running these scripts.
