The MBTiles format is a bit limited and does not include any timestamps. So, updating/removing tiles with refresh/remove_before is not possible. Of course, it should not fail with an exception.

I'll see how the seed tool can be improved so that it is possible to reseed or remove areas, without making it too easy to drop the whole cache by accident.
