the problem is that I still use 3.0 and in the docu you wrote that
the version is only for 3.4. Indeed we want to update soon, but
my idea was to first clean the database a little bit, which seems
to be not as easy as I thought. 

So in the end I'm missing an rt_db_repair_tool
to get all the tables right :-(
