[rt-users] RT upgrade failing!

Which is right, because there hasn't been a schema change since 3.3.11

RT 3.4.2 shouldn't throw errors if there was nothing to do for a given
database for a specific upgrade.  Did you try to upgrade all the way and
have it fail? I've done the upgrades, not just in house but for a number
of customers.
