I had the db error issues as well.  I had to start mythbackend from the 
command line to see what was going on then manually drop tables / columns 
one at a time as it complained about it and failed until it stopped 
complaining.  The problem is, if it fails part way through, but say has 
already added a new table or a new column to an existing table, then next 
time through, it isn't happy because things it's trying to do (again) have 
already been done.  All in all, I think there may need to be a much better 
use of "IF EXISTS"/ "IF NOT EXISTS" in the update scripts...though that's 
really a stab on my part.

As far as the schedules direct, did you do a fresh installation or did you 
do a brand new channel scan that overwrote your old channels?  I had a 
similar issue when testing 0.25 on a fresh installation (i.e. not an upgrade 
of an existing 0.24 installation).  Turned out, my channels had no xmlids 
and therefore couldn't generate a proper schedule.
