Great.  Glad that you're up and running.

We anticipate that most installations of GUS really only need one
tablespace, since data storage parameters are likely to be the same for all
GUS tables.  This being said, I could foresee someone wanting to run
standard tables in archivelog mode, and version tables in noarchivelog mode.
One of my to do items for the next release is to better support the multiple
tablespaces.

Yes, hopefully this has been made clear over the last several months.  There
is no current upgrade path from 3.0 to 3.5.  I hope to provide guideline
upgrade scripts within the next week or two.  Exporting and re-Importing
will not work without some type of data transformations.
