Veering off topic a bit, if you want to purely use the shared database for 
scoring, with no individual database consulted at all, is it OK to use only 
the -d option alone?

This is what I have been doing for two accounts. The only thing I wasn't 
sure about was the file locking. If using 'score' is this purely read only? 
The file permissions I have set allow both (in group users) to read to the 
database, even though only one user has write access.
