"Unable to initialize notes database in..."

[sparkertime]

I've been using NVAlt for years now, but suddenly got the following error dialog when opening NVAlt. I verified the directory in question exists but the NVAlt preference for storage no longer do anything – I cannot change directories or storage formats. Deleting net.elasticthreads.nv.plist and reloading the app resets it to the default location and works exactly once, but closing and re-opening the app shows the same error for the new directory.
