Addendum: I just realized I forgot to drop the database before
trying the import this time (definitely not last time with
0.7.0). After recreating the database the import worked with
0.7.1.

I'm still having the permision problem though (which
probably is a different issue and I'll look into it) and
upgrading a mysql_backend fro 0.6.9 directly still doesn't
appear to work.

For completeness sake, here's the permission error message:

Error response

Error code 403.

Message: /qj/ (You are not allowed to view items of class
category).

Error code explanation: 403 = Request forbidden --
authorization will not help. 


Note that I did add the required lines to dbinit.py:

for cl in 'priority', 'status':
    p = db.security.getPermission('View', cl)
    db.security.addPermissionToRole('User', p)
