It seems I forgot to pick this up yesterday. A read/write database with read-
only images would only be feasible if we move the database into ~/.local/
share.
KPhotoAlbum has always handled the index.xml directory and the image directory 
as synonymous. I'm against changing that for now.
You can still achieve this setup in multiple ways, though. The most obvious 
being:
mkdir ~/Pictures # index.xml resides here
ln -s /my/readonly/mountpoint ~/Pictures
