I beleave you are trying to downgrade from a database that (at lease for
a time) was running the SVN trunk or the bleeding version of mythtv. you
database error talks about storage groups witch is only on the trunk
(devilment) version at this time (not 0.20). so if your trying to
install mythtv 0.20 on your new setup I would suggest you only restore
the tables that you need to restore and no others (but 1st backup and
wipe your *new* database before you try to restore)
