[rt-users] upgrade issue from 3.2.2 to 3.8.1

[daksh]

Hi, 
We upgrade RT 3.2.2 to 3.8.1, and have a small issue.
Server info:
openSuSE11
PERL - 5.10.0
mysql - 5.0.51a

When I click on Tickets link to search for tickets, under
"Owner" selection, I get hundreds of users. It seems like I
am getting all users who ever submitted tickets to us. I
have looked at global permissions, and it appears to be
correct. 

I ran "rt-validator --check"  and have noticed following
items: Please note, I am only listing unique entries. I get
thousands of this entries when I run "rt-validator --check".
------------------------------------
Name "RT::DatabaseType" used only once: possible typo at
/rt-validator line 133.
