Fix globcnt is zero crash

I have hit this crash while trying to import a PST file.
Pull request went out to become somewhat big (I ended up here while trying to isolate while the crash).
The cherry on the top of the cake is actually the last patch - 13d7bbc1783d8348df7c63b2b062bedb2881a15e
(at least this fixed the problem for me)

It turned out we initializing TDB backend for Indexing while every other backend defaults to MySQL.
I this this is widely untested combination and also undesired :)

Please review!

Please also note that this pull request is superset for #90
So we should either merge this one and discard #90 OR merge #90 first and the I will clean up this
request to contain only distinct patches.
I'm not sure about this changes (because I don't have the global picture of sync workflow) but your TODO note confirm my concerns.

For a first refactor of this part it will be safer to check ret/retval values but continue with the current "for loop". And if any of the ret values was an error we return it at the end of the function (any of them).
