I think I had this problem before (not in 1.4).  Try this.
cd ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok
delete collection.db, actually try deleting everything with the
collection in it.  If that doesn't work, just delete everything in the
directory (or back it up, if you want).  start amarok, and it should
work now.
