I just checked the differences of the XMP files: (1) When I close darktable at LP this XMP file is written:

However I do not understand, when the database and when the XMP files will be used. I hope this information help you to reduce/identify the problem. -- Verschlüsselte Emails sind mir sehr willkommen.
