[Pulp-list] Error: database disk image is malformed when syncing EPEL

[James Hogarth]

Hi,

Carried out a quick bugzilla search and couldn't see anything
immediately apparent.

Have a pulp instance here on:
pulp-0.0.254-8.el6.noarch
grinder-0.0.131-1.el6.noarch
gofer-0.63-1.el6.noarch

I have sync'd EPEL from http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/
and when a search is carried out get the error:

epel_6_64/pkgtags                                        |  302 B     00:00
Error: database disk image is malformed

I've tried using pulp-admin repo remove_metadata --id=epel_6_64
--mdtype=pkgtags but it doesn't appear to remove the metadata.....

Any ideas to start going down to debug - can anyone else replicate?
The system is a fully updates Centos 6.2 instance.
