Maybe you could try a 'deep' update (emerge -u --deep world') and see if that fixes the problem. I know Digikam 0.7.4 used to work fine here.

Nowadays, I use 0.8.0 and it works great. So you could also try to upgrade to this version, which uses sqlite3 as its databse backend.

For the time being, kbuildsycoca as user did the trick.
