We are moving over to XESAM shortly which will deprecate some of our
dbus interfaces

The next major version of tracker (0.7.0) will support xesam and this
will fundamentally change how metadata is handled and queried.

If possible I would recommend you wait til after xmas for this by which
time we should have xesam support in place

more info on xesam can be found here:
