Tobias Mueller 948db4b6fa mac: actually delete the clients.db
This hopefully makes the client tracking work better. Before this
change, the Web UI would not be able to track clients, probably because
the database contains garbage. Now that we delete the file properly, it
will be re-generated (in the volatile tmpfs) and the Web UI should show
everything nicely.
