Jackcess decoding not supported warning

I'm using Jackcess to help with database connectivity. I have no issues with my program when it's run on my computer and connecting to a database that runs in Access 2013.

I've switched it to another computer now which is using Access 2010 and it's throwing the following error:

WARNING:Decoding not supported.  Please choose a CodecProvider which supports reading the current database encoding.
WARNING:Decoding not supported.  Please choose a CodecProvider which supports reading the current database encoding.

Jackess suggested I use the Jackcess-encoder. However the database doesn't seem to be encoded in any way, and so I don't think it would do much.

Has anyone else encountered this error?

Given the accepted answer to the related question here, this is almost certainly due to corruption of the database file. Even though it was stated in a comment to this question that a "Compact and Repair Database" operation in Access did not fix the problem, the response to the later question indicates that it actually did work.

While the source of the corruption has not yet been firmly established, the fact that the file was being accessed directly from a Dropbox share (as revealed in the later question) is a likely suspect.
