 EPUB ------

 Skipping - unknown MIME type 'application/epub+zip'

 .pkl (less priority) -------

 I was just playing around with different formats on my computer. I found
 and tested .pkl formatted. file command shows it to be 8086 relocatable
 (Microsoft). Also I ran omindex with .pkl inside, and it fails :

 {{{
 iamglass: Skipping - unknown MIME type 'application/octet-stream'
 polarities.pkl: Skipping - unknown MIME type 'application/octet-stream'
 Exception: DatabaseError: Modifications failed (DatabaseError: Error
 reading block 0 (Protocol error)), and couldn't open at the old revision:
 Error reading block 0.
 }}}

Comment (by olly):

 The error in the description is rather strange:

 {{{
 Exception: DatabaseError: Modifications failed (DatabaseError: Error
 reading block 0 (Protocol error)), and couldn't open at the old revision:
 Error reading block 0.
 }}}

 Is that repeatable?

 Is there anything unusual about the disk partition which you have the
 database on?
