Yes, it works but once it gets to the step where it creates the relations I
get the error:

Copying user relation files
...l/data/drupal_dbspace/PG_9.0_201008051/2752430/10913518

Thanks for pointing this out. I reset and ran:

pg_upgrade -b /home/jkregloh/pg_bin/ -B /usr/local/bin/ -D
/usr/local/pgsql_93/data -d /usr/local/pgsql/data/ -p 5452 -P 5451

Same results as I posted previously for Case B.

For Case B I switch it around the /usr/local/pgsql/data belongs to 9.0 and
/usr/local/pgsql_93/data belongs to 9.3. This I found allows me to not get
the same error as I do in Case A.

/usr/local/pgsql_93/data is the data dir of the 9.3 cluster, created using
/usr/local/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql_93/data
