I'm not sure I can offer specific problems that you may encounter.
I wasn't sure what version of 7 you were upgrading to. But it's worth noting that improvements have been made in the 7.4 Upgrade Guide.
Even if you are upgrading to a lower version, it would be worth cross referencing the Upgrade Guide from the version that you're going to with the 7.4 guide.
Also, there is a resume feature which will place a "resume.properties" file in you /scripts directory as it completes the various sections of the upgrade.
If you do decide to start again (i.e. you restore a database pre-upgrade) don't forget to remove the resume.properties file (otherwise the upgrade will not start from the beginning)
