  I've found the problem: sadly the object constructor instatiate a
XapianWritableDatabase(), and later, a clean up method removes the
files from the storage directory (/var/lib/xapian/trade.ar/).

  I've remove it from the constructor and placed in a later method
which is called when the storage directory has been cleaned.
