I'm slightly surprised you find this minor change the most important  
part.

How do you intend transfer of file ownership to be handled? Have you  
though about interaction with Rainbow?

The only way to access meta data for a given object seems to be find()?
Is there metadata associated with the object in general or just in  
each version? How to access/distinguish those?

In update() I assume you submit the old version_id and get back the  
new version_id?

And since you do not care about compatibility you should change the  
spelling to follow the D-Bus naming conventions:
