UnboundLocalError: local variable 'database' referenced before assignment

I have a rather annoying problem with scribes on Natty. I can't use search and replace or show white spaces. I will also
get an error if I try to manipulate the window. Below is a

if I try to resize/move/close/focus scribes I get the following error message

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/scribes/GenericPlugins/FocusLastDocument/DatabaseWriter.py", line 19, in __write
    set_value(self.__editor.uri)
  File "/usr/lib/scribes/GenericPlugins/FocusLastDocument/Metadata.py", line 21, in set_value
    database.close()
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'database' referenced before assignment
