I don't know how livedrive is implemented, but I'm guessing that it does
not have all the lock and sync capabilities a normal harddrive provides.
See this page:
http://sqlite.org/howtocorrupt.html
especially:
2.1 Filesystems with broken or missing lock implementations
3.1 Disk drives that do not honor sync requests

maybe it's just not possible to store a working copy on a livedrive.
