Once you have the tag archive (gelbooru.db or whatever) in your client_archives folder, make sure you link it to a specific tag service inside your client. Go services->manage services and then select your local tag services or a tag repository, and you should see an archive synchronisation box. There you can link the tag archive, which means every file in your db will get cross-referenced to the archive, and any matching tags will be add/pended to the respective service. If you have a lot of matching files already in your db, it will do an initial sync, which can take a few minutes and may end up pending several tens of thousands of tags. The sync will then be repeated for any files you import in future.
Now I have rewritten subs, I can extend them a little easier. I want to add a 'sync now' button to the manage subs dialog, but for now you can pseudo-force it by making sure it is unpaused and going help->debug->force idle mode. Things like subscriptions only normally start when the client thinks you haven't done anything for twenty minutes or so, a bit like a screensaver. Note the sub will only start in idle mode if it is due (i.e. [the last time it checked] + [its checking period] has passed). This will be fixed with the 'sync now' button.
I am not sure why the client is crashing after large imports. Someone else mentioned similar at ~38k files. Thank you for reporting the problem. I am looking into it.
