Currently we always say "Invalid or corrupt database" when database signature checking fails. This is particularly confusing when there is not signature.
Also, we immediately verify databases at the start of the transaction which potentially results in (invalid) error messages being output that may be fixed when the sync database gets updated. I'm not 100% convinced this is the right way to fix this...
