Isn't 0.22 too old to automatically upgrade to 0.27 directly?  I think
you need to upgrade the database in two stages, using an older MythTV
version for the first upgrade.  I think this has been discussed
earlier on the list, and people were doing an install of the older
version in a virtual machine and upgrading the database there before
doing the final upgrade on the new physical machine with 0.27.
