What I did to solve this problem was (with Abelton not running) go into /Users/rclester/Library/Application Support/Ableton/Live 8.2.1/Database and put "files.db" into the trash then reopen Ableton. When it reopened, it kind of did a re-install type of thing, checking for the Live Packs and installing any that had not installed when I was having the database disk image malformation problem. Since then (it has only been 1 day), I have had no problems, or no recurrences of the database disk image crap.

hope that helps. Try it at your own risk. I don't really know what I was doing, or why exactly it worked, but it seemed to be worth trying, and so I did and it helped. I am assuming I just trashed the malformed database and that Live is smart enough to remake it when the original is not present. Who knows?! But problem solved. :mrgreen:
