That happened to me some time ago!

Even if you specify which database to upgrade, MythTV knows better,  
well in an old svn version quite some time ago anyway.
After I'd restored the database from a backup I added a couple of  
firewall rules to prevent mythtv & mysql access from the test  
frontend. I now have a 0.22 system running on the same network as my  
0.21, supposedly if you turn of uPnP it doesn't auto detect but I use  
only uPnP for playback so that wasn't really an option.
