Tag pictures with synchronizeXmp on (exiftool error)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Configure JBRout to synchronize XMP and IPTC tags
2. Tag some pictures (but it's not systematic)
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Tagging was apparently done (though I can't say for sure about the XMP tags) 
but an exception was raised (not on all pictures, though all in the set were 
made with the same camera):

Additional information: my camera is a Panasonic DMC-FZ28, but 
this behaviour seems to happen only on pictures that were rotated (using jbrout 
Autorotate operation). 

Besides, after several tests adding and removing tags, when viewing the 
information with exiftool, a "Subject" line appears, either corresponding to 
the current list of tags, or with some previous tags if I have removed them. 

I'll try to send some example pictures later.

I forgot: I'm using pyexiv2 0.1.3 !

About that last part (remaining presence of removed tags), it stems from the 
fact that XMP keywords are not removed when the last tag (or all tags) are 
removed. I only one tag (of several) is removed, it's fine, and when one adds 
new tags, the old ones are removed. This particular problem only occurs when 
making an image "tag-free".

I thought it came from the command  del self._md["Xmp.dc.subject"] in 
pyexiv.py, but since it's about pyexiv2 v0.2, it's rather in XMPUpdate in 
tools.py

This bug is probably obsolete ... exiftool is not used anymore at all.

That is not true.

./jbrout/jbrout/commongtk.py:   data = Popen(["exiftool", "-b", "-PreviewImage",
./jbrout/jbrout/db.py:          data = Popen(["exiftool", "-b", "-JpgFromRaw",
