pg_upgrade needs to access the old data AND all the tablespaces at the 
same paths as the old server sees them AND the new data and tablespaces 
at the same path as the NEW server sees them.   if the two servers are 
in different jails, I don't see how you could make that work... if you 
run pg_upgrade in the host system, then all the paths are different for 
both sets of data and tablespaces.
