Pierr had "INT primary key". Simon suggested "INTEGER primary key" which 
is *better* -- it means that the PK is also the rowid (saves space in 
the table) and you don't need a separate index for the PK. See 
http://sqlite.org/lang_createtable.html#rowid

Perhaps Pierr's problem is related to the "usb interface" on the hard drive?
