</div></div>I ended up dropping and restoring my database to solve this.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div>Have you ran mythtv-setup to upgrade the schema? Which is what I needed to do. I also had some corruption in my db due to the character encoding. This wiki page has the details <a href="http://wiki.mythtv.org/wiki/Fixing_Corrupt_Database_Encoding">http://wiki.mythtv.org/wiki/Fixing_Corrupt_Database_Encoding</a><br>
<br>I needed to manually remove the section for the people table before it would sucessfully import though. You can turn on debug level messages for both mythbackend and mythtv-setup which will show you exactly what is failing. The option to use is <br>
"-v debug".<br>
