   I'm assuming by "different look-and-feel configurations" you mean that
   they're using different user interfaces (separate "SPTUI--" trees)?

   When you mention "another database", are you referring to SQL databases,
   or sets of metadata records, or...?

   If it's an SPT installation that's using two different user interfaces
   to access different portions of the collection, then it might be that
   a subdirectory link is missing for the user interface that's having
   problems.  There should be a link from the MetadataTool subdirectory for
   the new interface (for example, SPTUI--MyInterface/MetadataTool), to an
   entry in the top-level MetadataTool directory named the same as the
   user interface directory (MetadataTool/SPTUI--MyInterface).  Without this
   link it may have difficulty finding pages in the Metadata Tool.
