According to the changelog ( http://www.mysettopbox.tv/CHANGELOG.txt ), 
R5A22 is using MythTV 0.18.2svn, which is probably the current SVN 
version of 0.18-fixes?

http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/branches/release-0-18-fixes

You'll have to get more info from some KnoppMyth experts, though.  If it 
is 0.18-fixes, it's expecting DBSchemaVer 1083 and you have 1099.  
Between the two have been a lot of changes, including a bunch of 
DDL--dropped tables, added tables, and added columns.  Therefore, you're 
probably better off starting over from your pre-upgrade backup or just 
upgrading to current SVN...  Most things might work OK with the older 
version, but I wouldn't risk it.

If you start over, you can import the new recordings with 
myth.rebuilddatabase.pl.
