I think it would also be good to evaluate the default inotify limits and consider raising them (or decreasing the number of inotify watches Tracker uses). When running Tracker, I've had other software such as Dropbox complain that it cannot use inotify because I have too many watches registered.

I must say I've never seen this error (despite using Dropbox), but it seems like a valid thing to investigate into (Ideally tracker should use something like fanotify [1] instead and be happy). Please file a bug (possibly upstream) if you encounter a similar bug again.
