The data store format has not changed in a VERY long time.  What
you're encountering is probably the infamous data store corruption
bug, which is the worst outstanding bug in Freenet (IMHO).  Personally,
I've only seen it once, but it seems to be far more common for other
people, especially Windows users.  (By the way, it would be helpful if
you actually showed what the errors say, so we can be more definite in
diagnosing the problem.)

It's not *supposed* to work this way, but for now, whenever you see
corruption errors, you'll just have to wipe your data store and try
again.
