You'll have to run it from your /usr/src/rt-3.8.1rc4 or equivalent 
directory because like you said the etc/upgrade files are in there, 
which is why you have to specify the full path to the rt-setup-database

server:/usr/src/rt-3.8.1rc4# /opt/rt3/sbin/rt-setup-database --dba root 
--prompt-for-dba-password --action upgrade

Also make sure /opt/rt3/sbin is the correct path.. it may be different.
