Based on some earlier messages on this list I got the impression
that you have to install RT 3.2.3 to import the files dumped
by the rt2-to-rt3 tool, then upgrade that to 3.4.x applying
the database updates as described in the README to get to
the current schema.

There is a script in:
http://download.bestpractical.com/pub/rt/contrib/3.0/Conversion/
to convert from pg to mysql, but I'm not sure exactly when
you should use it.  After pulling into 3.2.3 on pg might be
the best match.
