hmmm...

Which directory are you running the command from? I ran mine from
/var/lib/postgresql which has the properties:

drwxr-xr-x 4 postgres root

I don't recall using the command "pg_upgrade91", but I see that it is a
symlink to /usr/lib/postgresql-9.1/bin/pg_upgrade

This is the command that worked for me:

pg_upgrade -u postgres -d /var/lib/postgresql/9.0/data -D \\
/var/lib/postgresql/9.1/data -b /usr/lib/postgresql-9.0/bin -B \\
/usr/lib/postgresql-9.1/bin

For more information do (as postgres user)

$ pg_upgrade --help
