That was more a commentary on the arrogance of the Jedi order at the time that they never considered that their archives might have been incomplete or tampered with (the same way they never contemplated Dooku might have been an assassinating fuckwit.)
I never chalked that up to Jedi arrogance. When Obi Wan goes to the library and Aunt May tells him, "If an item does not appear in our archives, it does not exist," I figured that the galaxy must be so well mapped, that the notion of a system not showing up on the charts was inconceivable. I tooks it as a testament to the age of the galactic civilization, that essentially every corner of the galaxy has been surveyed. A system that wasn't on the Republic's charts isn't something that Obi Wan or anyone else would have considered.
Here's something I don't get: "Only a Jedi could have erased those files." Okay, why only a Jedi? Do they not have hackers in Star Wars?
Simple. The Jedi Archives aren't "physically" linked with the outside world. The only way to access them is to actually enter the temple and use a terminal.

no they actually can be accessed from Outside the temple (in "Dark Lord" (the novel) they accessed it from some unknown separtist holdout), but you'd need to be a Jedi to know the codes needed to access and why not assume a hacker a) the temple beacon was probably one of the most secure systems in the republic b) only a fool would want to risk pissing of the Jedi Oder c)jedi arrogance

Just because the system can be remotely accessed doesn't mean it can be remotely edited or tampered with. How much power did the interface grant them?

it looked like mere access/download or at least I can't remember any uploading or editing being done.

Kamino saberdarts would be the equivalent of nasty black market underground weapons available only to bounty hunters and sleezy four-armed hamburger restaurant owners. Unless the not-exactly-outgoing Kaminoans advertise their assassination weapons, it's understandable that that sort of thing won't show up in most records. Especially if such weapons were custom made by individual providers, making them hard to acquire and harder to know about.

I think that's exactly the kind of thing that should show up in law enforcement databases

Unless you have the money to make sure they don't...
After all, what better way to guarantee the anonymity of your weapons than go straight to those who are responsible for removing it? If it is used rarely enough, they could get away with it.
