SDBUPD Failure - SYSDBA Unknown Error

Hello to the list,

I am getting the error 'SYSDBA unknown' when I try 
to run the upgrade program SDBUPD and was wondering
if anyone had found a way around this or if there
is any documentation that would be helpful
(so far searches in Google have not been helpful).

Specifically, I am trying to upgrade SAPDB 7.3.0.53 to
7.4.3.36 on a Red Hat ES 2.1 system.

Here is a snippet from the upgrade log:

--[ snip start ]------------------------------------
starting release is 7.3.0.53

STDOUT: loading system tables failed
STDOUT: load_systab

ERR
-24909,ERR_DBAUNKNOWN: SYSDBA unknown
--[ snip end ]--------------------------------------


I suspect an earlier DB administrator may have changed
the SUPERDBA password. So I've tried updating both
the .XUSER.62 file and the user entries within SAPDB
using the following commands:

xuser -U w -u SUPERDBA,admin -d SB1 set
DBMCLI -d sb1 -u SUPERDBA,admin user_put superdba PASSWORD=admin

My final question is about the SDBUPD program. Does this pull
the account information for SYSDBA (i.e. SUPERDBA) from the
.USER.62 file for the root account?

Thank you in advance for you help,
